About
the Book
Title:
Incarnational Wonder
Author:
Danny Kinane
Genre:
Religion / Spirituality
Incarnational
Wonder, even though written in old age and through a bout of severe
sickness, has been very revealing on a personal level. Its writing
has brought me to a clarity, more than a conviction of mind,
something deeper, of what it means to be a human being, at the heart
of which is spirituality. Its main focus is to, initially, isolate
spiritually and see it what it really is: the bedrock not only of
personal reality, humanity, but indeed of all reality. This
foundation is found not so much in sacred documents such as the Bible
or the Quran or in churches dogmatic teachings but in the human
spirit itself in its everyday dialogue through experience. Experience
is at the heart of the book, an in-built director of where our lives
are going – and why and how. Academic disciplines such as theology
and biblical studies take a secondary role. Today’s spirituality is
saying to us we must find meaning within ourselves, our own spirits,
if we are to thrive in, and indeed survive, modern life.

Bio
I
came to Australia as a migrant from Ireland in 1973 to teach high
school; as it turned out in both Victoria and Queensland. After five
rather demanding years I decided to return to a previous interest and
concern and eventually became a priest in the Catholic Church in
North Queensland. This became an interesting and varied experience
over the next twenty years, especially as a priest in the North-west
of the state, so different from the urban areas of the east coast in
its spiritual needs. But the main message over those twenty years
emerged clear and powerfully: religion was dying because its
spiritual base was so inadequate. I eventually retired from the
church to spend my twilight years living a more contemplative
lifestyle in the southern Queensland bush. I also began to write.
“Incarnational Wonder” is my fourth book.
