Sure to be of exceptional interest among scholars as well as
recreational readers is this volume in the esteemed Classics of
Western Spirituality (TM) series. Celtic Spirituality offers
translations of numerous texts from the Celtic tradition from the
6th through the 13th centuries, in a cross-section of genres and
forms, including saints' lives, monastic texts, poetry, devotional
texts, liturgical texts, apocrypha, exegetical texts, and
theological treatises. Davies has written a helpful introduction,
which covers the origins and characteristics of Celtic Christianity
and the different genres included in body of the work. He provides
readers with insight into the style, form, and character of the
texts, including explanation of the Celtic emphasis on orality, the
importance of place, emphasis on the environment and animals, and
the role of the imagination. With its wide diversity of texts and
emphasis on a current of spirituality that is both popular,
historical, and inspirational, this volume will be important for
scholars of spirituality and Celtic history as well as persons of
Celtic descent.
