Signs of Weakness: Juxtaposing Irish Tales and the Bible
by Varese Layzer

Overview
Are early Irish stories influenced by the Bible or transcriptions of pre-Christian Celtic lore? Layzer explores the practical and theoretical difficulties of determining “influence” in ancient writing, and the relationship between the oral and the written, literacy and literature, and the disciplines of Irish Studies and Biblical Studies.

Hovering over Scripture references links you instantly to the verse you’re looking for, and with Passage Guides, Word Studies, and a wealth of other tools from Logos, you can delve into God’s Word like never before!
