A Whisper of God: Essays on Post-Catholic Ireland and the Christian Future

A Whisper of God is a series of essays revolving around the theme of how Christians might respond to the rapidly changing Ireland in which they now live. Bishop Richard Clarke does not seek to find easy answers to the confusion in which many thinking people now live, but instead suggests new directions in which the church and its members should move. The different chapters of the book cover such diverse topics as the relationship of Christianity to other faiths, changing attitudes to sexuality, and the victim culture in the Ireland of today. The author is insistent throughout these essays that the different traditions within the Irish church must move unitedly, if the many people who have become disenchanted with the institutional church are ever to believe that there is - at the heart of everything - a Christian gospel of love and truth which remains untainted and full of hope for the future.
