In an increasingly pluralistic world, Irish Spirit shows how different religious visions can illuminate and enliven one another. From fairy rings to the Internet, the continuing diversity of spirituality is presented as one of its deepest mysteries.
Irish Spirit begins with the dolmens and explores the inheritance left by an unknown people. This important book looks at the influence of the ancient Celtic beliefs, which is still very much in evidence today. The ways that Christianity has influenced contemporary Irish spirituality and some of the more destructive aspects of the Irish spiritual heritage are acknowledged.
This book is not a series of sermons but an engaging conversation that includes the reader and speaks to the heart and soul.
