The Celtic Way of Prayer: The Recovery of the Religious Imagination
Historian and retreat leader de Waal explores the rich legacy of Celtic songs, poems, prayers, and blessings that grew out of the dynamic meeting of Christian monasticism with an older, communal way of life ordered by kinship, a rural sense of place, the pattern of the seasons, and the cycles of birth and death. The author does a fine job tracing the strands that make Celtic Christianity compelling and unique. An important addition to Celtic literature for both general readers and specialists.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
