About this title

About the Author

Richard Clarke is the Church of Ireland Bishop of Meath and Kildare. Born in Dublin in 1949, he studied history and theology in Dublin and London Universities respectively, and holds a doctorate from the former. Although he retains research interests principally in the field of history, he has in recent years become fascinated by philosophical theology and the relationship between literature and theology, and his book in this area of interest, And Is It True?, was published by Dominican Publications in 2000. A former dean of residence in Trinity College Dublin, rector of Bandon in west Cork, and dean of Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral Cork, Richard Clarke has been Bishop of Meath and Kildare since 1996. He is married to Linda, who is a teacher.
