The angels keep their ancient places reflections on Celtic spirituality - O'Donoghue, Noel Dermot (T & T Clark, 2001)
Includes bibliographical references and index
A profound exploration of the Celtic spiritual tradition, and particularly of the Celtic visionary imagination. Connecting this with both the Platonic and Islamic traditions, this book suggests a "lost category" of existence which would account for the possibility of resurrection from the dead and communication with Angels. Noel O'Donoghue opens up new and exciting horizons for Christian exploration
