New Perspectives on the Irish Catholic Tradition is a book of essays based on articles previously published in Position Papers. This is a monthly journal which explores theoretical and practical aspects of the Catholic faith, particularly as it is lived out in Ireland. The writers are Irish and Catholic, and are drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds. Each of them brings their own particular expertise and life experience to bear on a diverse range of issues including liturgy, pastoral work, politics, culture, bioethics, and Church history. This collection endeavours to present a thought-provoking examination of philosophical issues based on the Catholic tradition while, simultaneously, providing an encouragement to fidelity.

Rev. Gavan Jennings studied philosophy at University College Dublin, Ireland and the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, Rome. He was ordained priest in 1997 for the Opus Dei Prelature. He is co-editor of the monthly journal Position Papers, and is Honorary Secretary of the Irish Philosophical Society. He teaches occasional courses on Thomistic philosophy and theology.
