Brendan's Return Voyage

Viac o knihe

The narrative explores the revival of the myth that Saint Brendan journeyed from Ireland to America, only to discover that Indigenous peoples had their own spiritual beliefs long before his arrival. This contrasts sharply with the colonial mindset of American missions, which often pressured Native Americans to abandon their cultures in favor of a Eurocentric version of Christianity. The story highlights themes of humility, cultural respect, and the complexities of evangelization in a historical context.
