| Abstract | The papers in this session will explore different aspects of early medieval Irish theology. The sources discussed in the session include a relatively unknown exegetical tract, hagiographical works, and iconographic evidence, none of which have received much attention as sources of theology. The aim is to focus on the forms of theological writing on one hand, and on the contents and range of Irish theology on the other. So questions relating both to the genres of theological writing and to their contents will be discussed. |
