Living Between Worlds: Place and Journey in Celtic Spirituality

Living Between Worlds: Place and Journey in Celtic Spirituality by Philip Sheldrake. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780232521191.

Philip Sheldrake explores the roots and context of Celtic Christianity, its choice of particular landscapes and sacred sites, the ideal of enclosure and religious stability, the theme of pilgrimage, its strong sense of boundaries, and its reverence for the sacred in nature. He also seeks to explain the lure of Celtic spirituality for many church people today who are disillusioned with the institutional church and seek an alternative religious sensibility with strong roots and a capacity for wonder and surprise. Excellent for a parish or group study.
