'Celts and Christians is an appealing and rewarding collection, a welcome demonstration that 'Celtic Christianity' can be explored in ways which are not only balanced and cautious, but also imaginative, sensitive and penetrating.' Reviews in Religion and Theology ' ... This is a thought-provoking book which deserves to be well-known and studied. The basically academic approach to the texts is balanced by profound convictions about spirituality today, this providing a timely balance, preventing 'celtic' from becoming a laughable fantasy, while affirming the sources as life giving for all ...' (Regent's Reviews) 'This attractive volume of essays is perhaps the best introduction now available to what might be described as the new ''middle way'' that has emerged in the study of Celtic Christianity... this volume can be recommended to readers who... will discover that the beauties of this complex set of traditions are enhanced, not diminished, by careful attention to texts in their historical and literary particularity.' Anglican Theological Review
