In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Michael Haykin to discuss his book Patrick of Ireland: His Life and Impact. Who was Patrick of Ireland, and why does he matter today? What is the real history of Patrick, and what was the core of his theology? In this episode, Dr. Haykin takes us through some of the life and times of this great saint – as well as highlights from his Confession. What was the Christianity that Patrick received and then introduced and passed on to the people of Ireland? A robust Trinitarian in every aspect of his theology, the church today has much it can learn from Patrick – including his courage and dedication to missions in a time of global instability.
