Christ of the Celts

"I explore the Celtic image of Christ as the Memory of what we have forgotten. He remembers the dance of the universe and the harmony that is deep within all things. He is the Memory also of who we are."

--from the Prelude

"Diagnosing the human soul with a longing for peace in the face of fear and fragmentation nurtured by global political forces and fundamentalisms, Newell offers the ancient traditions of Celtic Christianity as a way forward in healing humankind and the earth."

--Publishers Weekly

"This graceful, wise, and important book is a superb introduction to the treasures of Celtic Christianity for our time."

--Marcus Borg, author, The Heart of Christianity

This is my fourth attempt at writing this review but I am glad I read Christ of the Celts as there is much affirmation of good, so it is a very positive book, but parts of it seemed to be going in a direction which made me slightly uneasy, such as the speculation about Jesus and Mary Magdalene. I found myself writing the same words as I have used in the review of another of his books, Listening For the Heartbeat of God but in this book the place of Jesus Christ is clearer: He is our Treasure. The chapter about substitutionary atonement is the clearest exposition I have ever read on this subject, in which Newell asserts that the cross is not payment to God but ‘disclosure of God’: the cross ‘is not a purchasing of love; it is the manifestation of love.’
