Irish Spirituality

Just as many more sayings and doings of the Lord existed prior to and alongside the canonical Gospels, so were there, prior to and alongside the subsequently selected or canonical acts, many other narratives professing to record the doings and sayings of the apostles and disciples of the Lord. This is one such gnostic text which had been lost for centuries.

Death is a whisper in the Anglo-Saxon world. But on a remote island off the coast of Co. Mayo, it has a louder voice. Along with reports of incoming Atlantic storms, the local radio station runs a thrice daily roll call of ordinary deaths. The islanders go in great numbers, often with young children, to wake with their dead. They keep the corpse and the bereaved company through the long hours of the night. They dig the grave with their own hands. It is a communal triumph in overcoming the death of the individual.

Mere Christianity is a classic of Christian apologetics, which originally appeared as three separate pamphlets: The Case for Christianity (1942), Christian Behaviour (1943), and Beyond Personality (1944). Lewis focuses on the common ground in the Christian faith to explain the fundamental teachings of Christianity in order to make a powerful and rational case for the faith. As one of the most popular introductions to Christianity ever published, Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide.

In this second volume of paranormal stories, the author goes a step further. As well as new investigations, this book includes events that have happened in the author's own home. Is someone patrolling the fort and doing their duty long after the inmates have gone? What was the energy that tried but failed to enter the old graveyard? What was in the castle chapel that seemed to resent the investigators' presence? There are many locations in Ireland that hold mysteries similar to these.

Nicholas Irish provides ample evidence from history, society, politics, religion, and sociology to show that saying that Jesus Christ is a Jew hurts Jews and Jewish communities. Irish argues that stating that Jesus Christ is a Jew will push historical processes such as the violent pogroms that Jews experienced in Russia and the Holocaust that Jews experienced in Europe. This audiobook is a must listen for Jews and non-Jews alike. It is insightful and very listenable.
