Treasures of Irish Christianity: A People of the World

Vol 1 of Treasures of Irish Christianity was published to great acclaim in the summer of 2012. This second, richly illustrated, volume offers readers further scholarly yet readily accessible short articles on a vast array of treasures from the Irish Christian tradition. It covers items ranging from religious folk tales to reflections on Yeats, Joyce, Kavanagh and Beckett; from words on the margins of ancient manuscripts to the first Lutheran congregation in Dublin; from early high crosses to the thirteenth-century Kilcormac Missal; from the Medieval Office of St Brigid to Pugin architecture; and from Church of Ireland hymnody to the recent Share the Good News publication.
