1. The Voice of the Eagle: The Heart of Celtic Christianity by John Scotus Eriugena (Softcover, 9780940262362, Lindisfarne Press, 1990) - John was born and trained in Ireland in the early ninth century and brought with him to France the flower of Celtic Christianity. He was not himself a monk or priest, but a layman, a lover of wisdom, a saintly sage. The first translator of the mystical and theological writings of many early Greek Fathers, Eriugena was also the author of the great metaphysical dialogue, On the Division of Nature, the uniquely Celtic, non-dualistic fusion of Christianity and Platonism that represents the only philosophical alternative in the Latin West to St Thomas Aquinas.
Eriugena's Homily - The Voice of the Eagle- a work that ranks as "one of the greatest of medieval sp iritual literature" (Moran), is a lyrical jewel of Christian mysticism and theology. In it Eriugena brings all his wisdom to bear on the perennially inspiring verses of the opening of St John's Gospel. His theme is the perfection of human nature in, through, and with, the Word.
Meditating on the meaning and purpose of creation as revealed by the Word made flesh, Eriugena manages to digest and transform in twenty-three short chapters the classical heritage of Pythagoras, Plato, and the Neoplatonists, and to unite these with the prophetic vision of the living God incarnate, so as to present a message of Christian gnosis, unique in its significance for our time.
2. The Elements of the Celtic Tradition by Caitlin Matthews (Softcover, 9781852300753, Element Books, 1990)
3. The Elements of Celtic Christianity by Anthony Duncan (Softcover, 9781852303600, Element Books, 1992)
