The first volume of Treasures of Irish Christianity was published in the summer of 2012 and had as its focus ‘People and Places, Images and Texts.’ The second volume takes as its focus the ‘People of the Word.’ The volume features 82 scholarly short articles from 73 contributors. Given the great number of articles, the volume brings to light a vast array of treasures from the Irish Christian tradition. The common theme that binds the volume together is reflection on Irish Christianity and the ‘word.’ As the editors, Salvador Ryan and Brendan Leahy, highlight in their introduction, ‘a fascination with words has characterized Irish Christianity from its earliest days’ (p. 15). Moreover, while the Irish reflected on ‘words’ in general they were also ‘captivated by the Word himself (Christ) and with that Word as found in scripture’ (p. 15).
