Critical Spirit

These eleven essays honor the life-long work of Irish theologian Daly, founder of the Irish School of Ecumenics and author of Creation and Redemption. An expert on Roman Catholic modernism, his recent contributions to theology have been in the area of creation and ecological ethics--the relationship between Christian faith and its cultural expression. These essays engage with this theological theme at a number of levels--in scripture, history, and philosophy--making it an important resource for the continuing debate on how faith's relationship to culture is to be understood.
