<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Bloesch provides incisive guidance toward a genuine Christian spirituality that is firmly rooted in biblical faith and fully aware of the positive contributions of various streams of Christian tradition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Donald Bloesch surveys this history of Christian thinking on the nature of the spiritual life. In his own charitable, ecumenical yet evangelical way he provides incisive guidance toward a genuine Christian spirituality that is firmly rooted in biblical faith and fully aware of the positive contributions of various streams of Christian tradition, while critically engaging the current plethora of options being offered today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"With a warm and passionate presentation, this is a book from a senior evangelical theologian that is important reading for Christians today."--David Parker, Evangelical Review of Theology, July 2008<br><br>"Donald Bloesch rightly believes, as did one of his favorite authors P. T. Forsyth, that it is dangerous to cultivate our own piety when we should rather seek God for peace. This volume explains not only why this assertion is true, but it does so with exceptional clarity and ecumenical irenicism. This is a book desperately needed when many evangelicals are moving away from biblical personalism. Bloesch is a master teacher, and the church desperately needs the wisdom of his excellent book. It ought to be required reading by every teacher of spiritual formation--Protestant, Catholic or Orthodox."--John H. Armstrong, President, ACT 3<br><br>"Here is a biblical and churchly 'spirituality' so needed today as an alternative to the New Age nostrums that crowd the mall bookstore shelves. Along the way, Donald Bloesch examines a range of offerings for the cure of souls that includes classical mysticism--its strengths and weaknesses--current gnosticisms in Christian garb and their post-Christian equivalents while making his powerful case for a Christocentric spiritual life of loving God and serving the world."--Gabriel Fackre, Abbot Professor of Christian Theology Emeritus, Andover Newton Theological School<br>
