From Timothy Paul Jones and Church History Made Easy:
There are few people I would rather read or listen to on the life of Patrick than Michael A.G. Haykin. You can listen to his lecture, read his essay, or look at his biographical sketch.
Professor Haykin also has a new book due out soon: Patrick of Ireland: His Life and Impact (Christian Focus, 2014). This is part of a series of short biographies and analyses from the early church. Here are some commendations:
“A fine balance between a biography of an extraordinary servant of Jesus Christ and an explanation of the beliefs that sustained Patrick.”
—Michael Ovey, Principal, Oak Hill Theological College, London“To read this account is to fill us with thankfulness for the Lord’s work in history and with hopefulness for . . . another era of lost-ness.”
—Edward Donnelly, Principal, Reformed Theological College, Belfast, Northern Ireland“Judicious . . . knowledgeable . . . insightful . . . Readers will be impressed.”
—D. H. Williams, Professor of Patristics and Historical Theology, Baylor University, Waco, Texas“Beautifully detailed portrait in miniature . . . all Christians will benefit from learning more about this mighty figure in the great cloud of witnesses.”
—Lewis Ayres, Professor of Historical Theology, Durham University, Durham, England
