The Ancient British Church is a historical inquiry into the early history of Christianity in Britain, written by William Lindsay Alexander and originally published in 1889. The book explores the origins of Christianity in Britain prior to the establishment of the Heptarchy, a period of Anglo-Saxon rule in the 7th century. Alexander examines the role of the Roman Empire in spreading Christianity to Britain, as well as the influence of Celtic Christianity and the role of St. Patrick in spreading the faith throughout Ireland. The book also discusses the relationship between the early British Church and the Roman Catholic Church, as well as the impact of the Protestant Reformation on the Church in Britain. The Ancient British Church is a thorough and scholarly examination of the early history of Christianity in Britain, and provides valuable insights into the development of the Christian faith in this important historical period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
