Saint Patrick’s Day is tomorrow, so I wanted to provide you with a quick post on some excellent resources related to Patrick.
A great deal of myth surrounds the man, his methods, and motives. Scholars question much of what we think we know.
Hopefully, what I have linked below will help clear some of the fog. The video is an episode of “This Week in Mission History” at my YT channel. My interview with Dr. Ed Smither was recorded during the first season of Strike the Match. Of course, we should always take the opportunity and read primary source material. Most of what we know about Patrick, with a great degree of confidence, is found in his two writings: Confession and Letter to Coroticus.
Enjoy!
And if your nearest McDonald’s is offering Shamrock Shakes, then grab one and enjoy even more!
