117d Saint Patrick: Converting Pagans or Banishing Snakes?

Episode 117d Saint Patrick: Converting Pagans or Banishing Snakes?

Description: In today’s episode Dr. Carly McNamara of the University of Glasgow takes us through the incredible life of that most famous of Irish saints, Patrick. We will talk about where he came from, what he wrote about and some interesting facts about his life. We will also discuss trade, slavery, travel and other aspects of life in a distant corner of Europe in the era of a Roman Empire that was falling apart and it wasn’t quite clear what would replace it.
