The book explores the intricate relationship between Celtic Christianity and the cultural landscape of Cornwall, examining its ties to early pagan practices and the region's history. It delves into the influence of early Celtic inhabitants, their religious practices, and the surviving artifacts that contribute to understanding this unique blend of faith and heritage. The opening of the work sets the stage for a thorough examination of the origins and development of Christianity in Cornwall, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between Celtic and pagan traditions. Taylor begins by critiquing the tendency to oversimplify religious origins based solely on similarities, particularly concerning rituals and ceremonies that may appear to intersect. He introduces key themes regarding the need for accurate interpretation of archaeological and historical evidence, as well as the necessity of understanding the diverse influences on Celtic Christianity in Cornwall. This approach highlights the depth of the subject and prepares the reader for a nuanced exploration of how Cornwall's religious history intertwines with broader Celtic traditions.
