About this title

Synopsis

This translation of the Confession of St. Patrick is accompanied by a lengthy introduction by Thomas Olden, who argues that St. Patrick's Christianity was closer to that of the Reformed Church than to modern Catholicism. The introduction and translation are both meticulously documented as to sources. This edition also includes the prayer known as "St. Patrick's Armor" or "Breastplate" (the Lorica of St. Patrick). Thomas Olden (1823-1900) was the vicar of Ballyclough, a member of the Royal Irish Academy, and the author of The History of the Church of Ireland.
