Summary:

Bringing together a wide range of classical and contemporary texts, this timely, eclectic collection addresses the theory and practice of Christian spirituality in the broadest sense. Arranged chronologically, the selections are drawn from all major Christian traditions, from Ignatius of Antioch (d. 117) to Desmond Mpilo Tutu, representing distillations from the formative works of seventy-six great spiritual masters. Issues examined intrude the church in the world, purity of intention, prayer, religious affectations, Christian freedom, Christian feminism, and the means of grace.
