Saint Brigid, the Celts and the Early Irish Church

By: Justin R. McCarthy

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This book is both a history of Ireland during Brigid’s lifetime (from the mid fifth century to the early sixth century AD) as well as a biography of the saint herself. It begins by examining the Celtic people, their way of life and their pagan beliefs. This includes a detailed look at the Celts’ religious leaders, the Druids. We’ll then deal with the conversion of Ireland to Christianity and the unique nature of the early Irish Church. The remainder of the book will be an in depth examination of Saint Brigid’s life, the founding of her monastery at Kildare, and the lasting impact she has had on Catholicism both in Ireland and throughout the world.

AI version was decent, but there were still many mispronunciations— more than I would’ve thought. I would’ve preferred a live narrator
