A review of "In the Poorer Quarters" by Aidan Matthews

Abstract

I remember listening to RTE Radio one Sunday morning sometime last year and hearing a reflection on that day's gospel reading from the lectionary and wishing that I had the text to mull over it again at my leisure. Now that wish has been fulfilled because Aidan Matthews has recently published the scripts of the complete series of talks that he gave on Sunday mornings on RTE Radio. The radio series, which ran in 2005-2006, was also entitled In the Poorer Quarters.
