The Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review for the Year 1867, Vol. 39 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review for the Year 1867, Vol. 39

Late researches throw increased light upon the distinction between Celtic and Latin Christianity. They were separated by a boundary. Of facts, more enduring than the stone wall completed by Severus between the Solway and the Tyne, and warding off from Scotland both prelacy and papacy for more than a thousand years. There is reason to think that before the close of the second Christian century there were Scots believing in Christ, and that for the gospel they were not ih debted te missionaries from Rome. These Scots dwelt in Ireland as well as in Scotland, and there are historic intima tions that they received their first Christian teachers from lands where the Greek language prevailed. It was perhaps three hundred years after Christianity dawned upon Scotland, when Ninian was commissioned by Rome as the primus Ept'scopus.
