- Summary:
- Major academics working on spirituality reflect on their responses to the key texts of Christian spirituality. This collection aims to cover the most familiar texts, and takes in both the Old and New Testaments as well as the Catholic and Protestant traditions. Its purpose is to explore the use, influence, and impact of these texts--often known by heart and influential beyond the faith community--and to look at how they shape our faith. Joy of Heaven will combine high-caliber academic writing with a more personal warmth. Contributors include: Santha Battacharji, David Moss, Gordon Mursell, Jeremy Sheehy, Colin Thompson, Ralph Waller, Benedicta Ward, Kallistos Ware, Richard Watson, and Edward Yarnold.
