Więcej o książce
Today, the Long Island is, to many, Britain's "last stronghold of the pure Gospel"; a place still defined by heartfelt religion – a community where, for instance, the threat of a Sabbath ferry service can still arouse considerable passion. In this sparkling account of island faith – from unknown, Megalithic builders to a war of Free Church schism waged on the Internet – award-winning journalist John MacLeod outlines the gripping religious history of this Hebridean community. This is a story that has never been related before, by any author, from the dawn of this island community to the present day – the tale of a people as indomitable as their landscape and a faith as profound as the Hebridean sea.
