Examining two early biographies, the author explores the meaning of ‘spirituality’ in the life of St Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, producing a compelling picture of love and holiness.

Sister Benedicta bases this essay upon the life of one of the Celtic saints who first lived the Christian faith in the British isles, namely Cuthbert of Lindisfarne (634-87 AD). Using two early biographical writings, she explores the meaning of ‘spirituality’ in the life of Cuthbert with reference to the gospel. We are given a picture of the compelling and enduring power of love and holiness.
