Christian Spirituality : The Classics, Paperback / softback Book

Christian Spirituality : The Classics Paperback / softback

Edited by Arthur Holder

Paperback / softback

Description

Christian Spirituality: The Classics is a unique and comprehensive guide to thirty key Christian spirituality texts.

Ranging from Origen and Augustine to Jonathan Edwards, Thérèse of Lisieux and Thomas Merton, it offers a view of the texts which is founded in scholarship, but which also presents them as living documents that invite- even compel -contemplative reflection and existential response. Each chapter briefly describes the classic text’s author and audience, gives a synopsis of its contents, suggests some of its influence in history, and then explores aspects of the text’s meaning for readers today.

Key themes include: What is the meaning of life? How can human beings find truth? How can they discover who they really are? How can they live together in peace? How can they live more fully in God’s presence in this world and be united with God in the world to come?The scholars who have written these chapters are all experts on their respective topics, but they wear their learning lightly.

Anyone wishing to discover the riches of Christian spirituality will find this the ideal introduction and should be able to progress to a deeper understanding of the texts themselves.
