Sunday, April 15, 2018 Ireland’s Role in Europe in the so-called Dark Ages Sunday, April 15, 2018 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM In this presentation, Dr. Charles Stewart will provide a fresh perspective on this issue and explain how archaeology and art history have shed light on Ireland’s role in Europe in the so-called Dark Ages. Twenty years ago, Thomas Cahill published a book titled How the Irish Saved Civilization, arguing that we cannot understand the development of Europe without first recognizing the role of Celtic Christianity. This book would remain on the New York Times Bestseller list for two years and, with that kind of success, there came a flood of critics who attacked its sensationalism and historical claims. Unfortunately, most scholars today remember the criticism and forget the actual archaeological and historic evidence.
