Rich overview

Ellis, highly regarded for his books about Celtic and Druid history, has produced another tremendous book with "Celtic Inheritance." The author starts with a study of pre-Celtic society and religion, progresses through the evolution of Celtic Christianity, and concludes with a country-by-country discussion of Celtic religious beliefs and practices. If you are serious about studying the Pagan roots of Christianity, or a history of Christianity's evolution in the context of Celtic beliefs and practices, this is a must-read book. I refer to it often in my own studies, and rank it among the top three texts for Celtic spiritual history.
