Sexuality is not what we do but who we are. My generation has neglected to pass on this timeless truth. There are truths that are certain, guaranteed and timeless; that is, they have no expiry date. Such truths would normally have been passed on from one generation to the other, from parents to children. Somewhat like a baton is passed on in a relay. Tragically these truths have been lost amid a sea of humanism and materialism. One truth that gives peace to the mind, health to the body and joy to the heart, in need of being rediscovered, is the power of purity. It connects and provides personal harmony and fulfilment to the body, heart and mind. This short book is an attempt to exemplify the beauty and meaning of purity. Young people will find this book to be of great value! A book that successfully challenges young people to seek out what is authentic in human relationships. It is concise, and yet its content is comprehensive and covers the Church's teaching in a clear and uplifting way. Very readable and very practical in this delicate domain, it can be recommended without hesitation to youth to answer all their questions, as well as to those discerning their vocation. The common sense approach highlights the many pitfalls evident in the prevailing culture and reveals a way ahead - drawing on the profound moral wisdom of the Church. In an age which sees sex not as an icon but an idol Fr Murphy offers much to help the reader see what purity consists of in a holistic way and how it can be attained. Since his book contains good analogies and language that is accessible to youth, it easy to read. Fr Michael de Stoop, author of The Gift of Confession Rev Dr Peter Murphy - Ph.B., S.T.L., S.T.D (Philosophy & Moral Theology), parish priest and Lecturer at Vianney College, New South Wales.

"The Mary of the Celts is essential reading for anyone interested in the reality of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary in Celtic spirituality. The book explores themes and images associated with the Annunciation, Nativity, Crucifixion, and Assumption, as also the Blessed Virgin's Joys and Sorrows, through a detailed study of poetry on Mary from the Celtic regions of medieval Britain and Ireland." "There are haunting images such as the Blessed Virgin Mary as daughter of her Son and as the chamber of the Trinity, with her virginity remaining as unstained and pure as glass pierced by a beam of light, as well as references to popular apocryphal legends, including those of the Instantaneous Harvest that grew while Mary and her child were fleeing into Egypt from Herod's men, and of the girdle thrown down by the Virgin to St Thomas at the Assumption." "Indeed, The Mary of the Celts has been written as a guide to Marian iconography. It will be useful for students of medieval European literature and art, as well as for specialists in early Irish and Welsh, all of whom will End in it much that is new. It should make readers aware of the wealth of Marian material to be found in Celtic Ireland and Britain, not all of which has had the attention it deserves beyond the Celtic lands."--BOOK JACKET.

Love of nature is often said to be one of the characteristic features of Celtic Christianity. This work describes how native beliefs about nature were rejected, transformed or restated as the peoples of early medieval Ireland and the Hebrides made Christianity their own. With close reference to the literature of the period it examines the importance of land, hills and mountains, water, trees, fire, the sun and the elements in early Christian and biblical imagery. At a time when Celtic Christianity is increasingly romanticized, this work sets out to put the subject back onto a solid scholarly footing.

A history of women in the early Irish church has never before been written, despite perennial interest in the early Christianity of Celtic areas, and indeed the increasing interest in gender and spirituality generally. This book covers the development of women's religious professions in the primitive church in St Patrick's era and the development of large women's monasteries such as Kildare, Clonbroney, Cloonburren, and Killeedy. It traces its subject through the heyday of the seventh century, through the Viking era, and the Culdee reforms, to the era of the Europeanization of the twelfth century. The place of women and their establishments is considered against the wider Irish background and compared with female religiosity elsewhere in early medieval Europe. The author demonstrates that while Ireland was distinct it was still very much part of the wider world of Western Christendom, and it must be appreciated as such. Grounded in the primary material of the period the book places in the foreground many largely unknown Irish texts in order to bring them to the attention of scholars in related fields. Throughout the study the author notes widespread ideas about Celtic women, pagan priestesses, and Saint Brigit, considering how these perceptions came about in light of the texts and historiographical traditions of the previous centuries.
