Description

A profound exploration of the Celtic spiritual tradition, and particularly of the Celtic visionary imagination.Connecting this with both the Platonic and Islamic traditions, this book suggests a "lost category" of existence which would account for the possibility of resurrection from the dead and communication with Angels. Noel O'Donoghue opens up new and exciting horizons for Christian exploration.

Reviews

'[an] excellent book on Celtic spirituality' 'This work shows an author who is master of ancient and modern writing in a variety of field...with an obvious love for his native Kerry in South-West Ireland, and for the Scottish Highlands.' -- Martin McNamara * Heythrop Journal *
