Has any one here come across the works of John Moriarty? I had some of his books but found him very hard going and gave them away. I recall seeing a rather beautiful film about his final days in the IFI in Dublin sometime back. He has a wonderfully rich Kerry brogue and looked like a biblical prophet.
He struck me as a bit new agey but perhaps that's me being uncharitable.

I glanced through one of his books in Eason's once. It reminded me of the John Donoghue book, Eternal Echoes, that I partly read because I got it as a gift. The kind of soggy "spiritual" writing where there's nothing to really get your teeth into. No definite dogma like the Trinity or the Incarnation that one can either affirm or deny. I find that kind of spirituality dizzying.

I find that kind of spirituality dizzying. I was dismayed to see the amount of books Donoghue flogged especially in Veritas branches. The connection between his musings and any authentic historic Irish christian monastic text was rather tenuous. Moriarty managed to get a lot of books published many of which are huge bulky tomes, presumably expensive to produce. I have never come across anyone who has finished one. Rogerbuck have you come across him in your investigations into New Age spirituality? |
