This new book tells the story of how a movement that began in Languedoc in 1216 reached Norman Ireland by 1224—and how, from that point onward, the Irish Dominicans made a varied and valuable contribution to Church and society over eight centuries.
They worked as preachers and educators, fostered the arts and learning, and developed new pastoral approaches. They supported the Irish diaspora in times of need, and carried their mission far beyond Ireland—to the West Indies, Australia, Iran and South America. From producing medieval manuscripts to launching publishing houses and embracing digital media, they remained consistently committed to the service of the Gospel.
Drawing on research carried out by a range of scholars over the past 50 years, The Irish Dominicans, 800 Years brings together stories and perspectives not previously published in book form.
Edited by Terence Crotty O.P., Scripture teacher and regent of studies for the Irish Dominican province.
