Irish Jesuit Edmond Grace has written a comic saga of poetry in four parts entitled 'Mad Messiah'. He writes from a different perspective in each part. Irish Jesuit Communications have recorded him reading his work.

Mad Messiah is a poem cycle written and recorded by Edmond Grace SJ, self-confessed Dublin south-sider, aging Jesuit, bewildered male, and Irish Catholic. It’s poetry like you’ve never heard before – a funny, provocative, moving, commentary on modern life and the ancient quest to encounter the living God, particularly as revealed in Jesus Christ, Mad Messiah.
