POVERTY, CELIBACY, AND OBEDIENCE: A RADICAL OPTION FOR LIFE
by Diarmuid OMurchu

Condition: Very Good. Clean and crisp copy with minimal cover wear.

About the Book
In this original and provocative re-examination of the three traditional vows, Diarmuid OMurchu reclaims poverty, celibacy, and obedience as living values rather than restrictive rules. Writing from within the Sacred Heart Missionary tradition yet informed by psychology, anthropology, and spirituality, OMurchu proposes that the vows embody a universal ethical orientation rather than an ecclesial constraint.

He situates each vow within a framework of relational wholeness and non-violence, tracing its resonance across both Christian and Eastern monastic thought. The books central insight is that these vows form not a withdrawal from life but a radical engagement with it a conscious, countercultural stance against materialism, possessiveness, and domination.

Both spiritual and sociological in scope, this study speaks to readers rethinking their commitments within or outside religious life, offering a renewed vision of freedom, service, and compassion.

About the Author
Diarmuid OMurchu, a member of the Sacred Heart Missionary Congregation, is internationally known for his works Quantum Theology and Reclaiming Spirituality. His writings bridge scientific cosmology and transformative faith, consistently challenging institutional reductionism in favour of a holistic spirituality grounded in evolution, community, and justice.
