A New Harmony: The Spirit, the Earth, and the Human Soul

By J. Philip Newell

A more holistic and natural way of thinking about faith

In his previous book, Christ of the Celts, J. Philip Newell emphasized the Celtic view of the oneness of creation and humanity as expressed through Christ. In that poetic treatment of the wisdom of Celtic spirituality, Newell pointed the way to a more peaceful, harmonious, integrated Christianity. A New Harmony takes the next step forward in emphasizing the need to overcome divisions and find common ground and to reclaim the best of ancient Christian spirituality and a more holistic, natural way of thinking about faith.

• Offers a view of spirituality rooted in ancient insights that includes and extends beyond Christianity
• Presents the case for the need for "a new harmony" that is both mystical and relational

The author J. Philip Newell is a well-known expert on Celtic Christianity and the author of the acclaimed Listening for the Heartbeat of God.
