Abstract

The book review discusses &quot;Faith Stories: Sustaining Meaning and Community in Troubling Times&quot; by Anna Hickey-Moody. The author argues for a broader understanding of faith that goes beyond traditional religious frameworks and encompasses the complex emotions and experiences that shape our encounters with faith. Hickey-Moody emphasizes the embodied nature of faith and explores how visual, material, and aesthetic cultures contribute to our understanding and experience of faith. The book examines the role of faith in diverse contexts in England and Australia, with a focus on challenging oppressive systems and promoting community and belonging. The review suggests that the book&#39;s insights on faith could be relevant to the Irish context, particularly in reimagining faith in education beyond institutional religious frameworks.
