An in depth exploration of the similarities and differences between Celtic and Roman Church practices focusing primarily on the conflicts over the formulations and the resulting tables for the dating of Easter. At times my eyes glazed over while in the nitty gritty detail. However! I am glad to know I have such details accessible to me on my bookshelf!
