This is a revised and enlarged edition of John Moriarty's first book from 1994 -- a Book of Revelations mediated by stories and personal excursions into literature, philosophy, and sacred writings. He articulates the wisdom of humanity, drawing on cultural landscapes in India, China, Egypt, Australia, Native America, and Europe. Now recognized as a classic of spiritual writing, it enlarges our capacity for symbolic understanding in an age of millennial anxiety. John Moriarty taught at Manitoba University for a number of years before returning to Ireland. His three volume spiritual odyssey, Turtle Was Gone a Long Time, was completed last year (all volumes available from Dufour).
