Dr. Philip Freeman: Author of "St. Patrick of Ireland" & Professor at Pepperdine University

from The Hamilton Review

"Everyone knows about St. Patrick – the man who drove the snakes out of Ireland, defeated fierce druids in contests of magic, and used the shamrock to explain the Christian Trinity to the pagan Irish. It's a great story, but none of it is true. The real story – slavery, escape, murder, and the struggles of faith against all odds – is much better." A description of the book, "St. Patrick of Ireland" a biography by Dr. Phillip Freeman - a Classics Professor at Pepperdine University.  We are delighted to have Dr. Freeman on The Hamilton Review Podcast this week to discuss his wonderful book about St. Patrick!
