Christian Spirituality: The Classics ReviewEditor Arthur Holder has in "Christian Spirituality" assembled thirty prominent scholars to provide us with a comprehensive guide to the origins and richness of Christian Spirituality. Each scholar offers their expert views on thirty foundational texts, each authored by one of the giants in the Christian tradition, from "Origen and Augustine to Jonathan Edwards, Therese of Lisieux and Thomas Merton."
Each chapter provides an introduction to a highly regarded classical text, background on the author and his or her audience, a synopsis of the text, an understanding of key learnings, the influence of the text over time, and the relevance of the text today.
A sampling of the Chapters includes:
*Benedict of Nursia's "The Rule"
*Bernard of Clairvaux's "Loving God"
*Catherine of Sienna's "Dialogue"
*Martin Luther's "Freedom of a Christian"
*John the Cross' "The Dark Night"
*Francis de Sales' "Introduction to the Devout Life"
*"The Way of the Pilgrim" (Anonymous)
*Dietrich Bonhoffer's "Life Together"
Each text is powerful and the scholars bring them to life inspiring us to reflect and meditate on their wisdom, on their religious truths, and how they can make a difference in our lives. These texts have "made a profound difference in the lives of generations of readers over hundreds to thousands of years" and will continue to do so for many more years in the future.
Holder, the John Dillenberger Professor of Christian Spirituality at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, Ca and former President of the Society for the Study of Christian Spirituality, invites us to learn from "Christian Spirituality" about:
*The meaning of life?
*How we can find truth?
*How we can discover who we really are?
*How we can live together in peace?
*And, how we can live more fully in God's presence in this world and be united with God in the world to come?
That, to me, is a pretty good deal for twenty-five dollars (the price of a movie for two and popcorn).
