The first (pp. 1-87) is a series of twelve short essays by John MacQueen on the historical Ninian, his mission and the origins and growth of Christianity in the region associated with him, that is, present-day south-west Scotland. [...]this is at the expense of any extended consideration of the 'dossier' on St Ninian found in the second part of the book.
