The painting itself is composed of two canvases, a diptych that in total measures 8’ x 6’ and is now on display in the church there. It refers to the story of the Samaritan Woman at the Well, recounted in the Gospel of John (Jn 4:1–42). A depiction of this gospel story could, until recently, be found among the earliest identifiable Christian images that date back to the third century in Syria, on the walls of a Christian Baptistry in Dura Europos.1 By depicting the figure of Christ dressed in a loose garment that resembles a Roman toga, De Profundis implicitly references that third century image as a means of emphasising the role that religious imagery based on this story has in relation to Christian initiation.","PeriodicalId":82834,"journal":{"name":"Studies","volume":"111 1","pages":"295 - 300"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48255997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Histories dealing with and explaining developments during the period invariably refer to this phenomenon and its impact. In their recent book, O’Donoghue and Harford make the point that no single work to date has addressed in detail how that dominance developed and was maintained by the Catholic Church and used, as they see it, to promote piety and privilege in Ireland in the period between the establishment of the independent Irish state in 1922 and 1967. So, that’s what they set out to do. Rather than adopting a hypothesis, they took the view that a more descriptive approach was needed. Both authors have written extensively on a range of topics including aspects of the history of Irish education. They also have access to an oral history project they undertook some years ago to capture people’s experiences of attending school in Ireland in the middle of the last century. In addition, they have extensive knowledge of the history of other education systems which allowed them to contrast the approach of the Catholic Church in Ireland with that which unfolded in other jurisdictions. In summary, they were ideally placed to undertake this project. In order to explain the context of Irish education when Irish Independence was secured in 1922, the authors present a useful summary of the main events that occurred during the previous hundred years. In particular, two policy developments had a fairly transformative effect on Irish education during that period. A watershed development occurred in 1831 when the British government decided to fund elementary (primary) education in Ireland. The mechanism used was to establish a Board of Commissioners to oversee the system and allocate resources. This was a particular achievement as the government did not introduce state funding for primary education in Britain for a further forty years. Whilst some scholars suggest that the government took this step in an effort to ‘civilize’ the unruly Irish, the main reason was a campaign for reform over the previous decades which came to fruition under Bishop James Doyle. It was a hard-won concession and the notion that E. G. Stanley, the British government’s chief secretary in Ireland, ‘championed’ the reform is misplaced.
