Summary: "The Life of Saint Columba, Apostle of Scotland" by F. A. Forbes is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life of Saint Columba, a revered figure in Irish and Scottish history, focusing on his contributions to the spread of Christianity in Scotland during the 6th century. Through a blend of historical narrative and hagiography, the text explores Columba's transformation from a noble boy to a dedicated missionary. At the start of the narrative, Forbes introduces us to Columba's origins, detailing his birth to a princely family in Ireland and a prophetic dream experienced by his mother, Eithne, foreshadowing his holy mission. The early chapters describe Columba's education and spiritual formation under various saints, highlighting his remarkable gifts, including a strong devotion to the Church and a prophetic vision. These formative experiences set the stage for his future as a missionary and abbot in the tumultuous landscape of early medieval Scotland, where he would ultimately face challenges in converting the Pictish tribes and establishing monastic communities.
