Redeeming The Druids
Ex-Monty Python member and amateur historian Terry Jones appears in the news again to promote his upcoming BBC series (and accompanying book) “Barbarians”. This time the article’s focus seems to be on Druids.
“Terry Jones is rather keen on Druids, whom he sees not as sheet-draped shamans squinting at the sun but as a highly trained “class of professional intellectuals” entrusted with all the learning and lore of Celtic societies.”
I was a great fan of his “Crusades” series (which deflated a lot of pro-Christian assumptions), so I will definitely be on the lookout for this once it hits the states.
