Opis

This book presents introductions to classics of Christian spiritual literature. Written in a popular, lively style, each essay is based on up-to-date research and insights into the place of the classics in a contemporary spirituality.""I am certainly familiar with the classics of Western spirituality so I did not think I would be able to read through this book, which is something of a primer on the subject. I was wrong. It surprised me to see how replete the book was with fresh insights and pieces of information that were unknown to me and that I gladly picked up for use in my own lectures.""--Anthony DeMello, SJMitch Finley is a former adjunct instructor in the religious studies department at Gonzaga University.
