King Arthur Was Irish (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780615293158)

KING ARTHUR WAS IRISH is an earthshaking new book that resurrects the high point of Irish history from out of its tomb - a tomb hewn of shameful religious politics, censorship, and blasphemous sex-guilt. The text is artfully decorated with a spirit akin to ancient Irish manuscripts. The revelations in the text are lavishly illustrated with medieval illuminations and wood-cuts, historic eighteenth and nineteenth century engravings, classic turn of the century Arthurian art, maps, charts, tables, satellite imagery, and striking original compositions. KING ARTHUR WAS IRISH answers the following five compelling questions and more: 1) Why didn't the Catholic Church canonize Saint Patrick - the Patron Saint of Ireland ? (This is no idle question considering that the twelfth century church had no problem canonizing the similarly myth laden Patron Saint of Wales - Saint David.) 2) Why does the ancient Book Of Armagh - a book long known as "St. Patrick's Book" - place the writings of the "Arch-heretic" Pelagius inside the New Testament ? (This very same Book Of Armagh was the official Bible of Ireland until the Norman Invasion. It was the National Bible used in the coronation of Irish High Kings including Brian Boru.) 3) Why is there such an ominous silence concerning the Irish Supremacy in Pelagian Wales and Cornwall during the Arthurian Era ? (And why is the related prominence of the Ui Liathain (the O'Lehans/Lyons) so purposefully evaded ?) 4) What motivates the historians who reject the authentic ancient texts which record that the Irish High King Niall and Irish High King Dathi were both killed fighting for Celtic rights deep inside France ? (And why is the preeminent alliance between the O'Lehan and O'Neill so vulnerably skirted?) 5) Is there really a codependent relationship between the sexual morality of the more egalitarian ancient Celts and the almost exclusively Latin formulated doctrine of Original Sin ? (And it was St. Augustine's fear of which Irishman that motivated the Bishop of Hippo to claim that all sex is sinful - even procreative sex between two baptized and married Christians ?) KING ARTHUR WAS IRISH unwraps these enigmas with a juicy study of the ancient texts. Fresh presentations and penetrations of the naked sources make up an impressive proportion of the book, making it a useful resource for anyone interested in probing the mysteries of medieval history. The seminal authorities are rendered into vibrant lines of easy to digest prose, with concise informed commentaries inserted right beside the accounts of the classical authors. The book shamelessly exhibits a huge endowment of scholarship, and kinetically delivers its virile message in an entertaining voice unafraid of the pungent humors exuded by such serious issues. The reader quickly regains the inherent knowledge that swallowing the truth is only alarming to the inherently untruthful.
