The search for the mystery of God as revealed in creation, in human beings and their relations, in the human processes of learning, artistic creation and political community has been a lifelong preoccupation of Enda McDonagh, one of the most eminent theologians of our time.
In this book he draws together the fruits of fifty years of study and practice as priest and theologian, bringing together previously published as well as unpublished work. Part I is a reflection on a life of learning, teaching and research, including an essay which examines why the university needs theology. Part II explores the radical call to communion in a globalising world. Part III examines the work of friends and fellow travellers.
