Christ of the Celts

Internationally acclaimed for his work on Celtic spirituality, John Philip Newell here addresses the question ‘Who is Christ for us today?’ As increasing numbers of people are attracted to the Celtic vision with its focus on the environment and its sense of the sacred existing in all things and creatures, the author explores what it is that makes Celtic spirituality particularly relevant for the modern world. In doing so he draws on long-hidden documents, such as The Gospel of Thomas, The Secret Book of John and The Acts of John and the great teachers of the Celtic world such as Irenaeus, Eriugena and Teilhard de Chardin.
