	The priest class of the ancient Celtic peoples, responsible for the education of the young and the intellectual life of the community. According to Julius Caesar, the Druids in Gaul were organized into a brotherhood that extended across Celtic tribal divisions. They were the judges for the Celtic peoples and wielded great political power. As the cohesive force among the Celtic tribes, the Druids were largely responsible for the rebellion of the Celts against Roman rule.

			== Education ==

	Little unbiased information survives about the Druids, partly because they kept no written records but passed their knowledge down orally from generation to generation. Nevertheless, we know they played an important role in educating the young. It took twenty years to master the full Druidic curriculum, which included astronomy, arithmetic, geometry, medicine, poetry, law, natural philosophy, and public speaking. There were forty Druidic universities in Britain at the time of Christ. Their total enrollment was as high as sixty thousand students and included the British nobility as well as the sons of important men from all over Europe.

	Nothing is certain about Druidic theology, yet some have asserted that it possessed numerous similarities to Christianity. Although the Romans eventually broke their power, the Druids yielded only to Christianity. Historian David Hume said, “No religion has ever swayed the minds of men like the Druidic.”		Nothing is certain about Druidic theology, yet some have asserted that it possessed numerous similarities to Christianity.

	The Druids taught the immortality of the soul and, according to Byzantine historian Procopius, worshiped a non-polytheistic Trinity.

According to Reverend Dobson, the Druid Godhead was called ''Duw''—the one without darkness who pervaded the universe. “Three golden rays of Light were the emblem of Druidism, representing the three aspects or persons of the Trinity emanating from the Godhead.” Dobson concludes that “Druidism thus anticipated Christianity and pointed to the coming Saviour under the very name by which Christ was called.”		The Druids taught the immortality of the soul and, according to Byzantine historian Procopius, worshiped a non-polytheistic Trinity.
