This is a moving reflection on the Christ of ancient Celtic tradition. Internationally acclaimed for his work in the field of Celtic spirituality, J. Philip Newell brings together a new concept of who Christ is today with the Celtic reverence for harmony with God and nature. "Christ of the Celts" offers a beautifully written meditation on the Celtic Christ and the possibilities for harmony, healing, and renewal for human beings and for all of creation. J. Philip Newell (Edinburgh, Scotland) is a poet, scholar, and teacher. Formerly warden of Iona Abbey in the Western Isles of Scotland (the current "headquarters" of Celtic spirituality), he is now Writer-Theologian for the Scottish Cathedral of the Isles as well as Companion Theologian for the American Spirituality Center of Casa del Sol at the Ghost Ranch Retreat Center in Abiquiu, New Mexico.
