In a day when the term ‘spirituality’ is defined so broadly as to be virtually meaningless, it is refreshing to be reminded of what it means in its historic, biblical context. First published in 2007, the clarity offered by this book is even more vitally needed today. The esteemed professor of church history and biblical spirituality at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary expertly demonstrates, through numerous illustrations, how believers down the ages have experienced the heights and depths of a true relationship with the triune God.
Christian spirituality is shown to derive from devotion to the crucified, risen and glorified Christ as he is revealed through prayerful meditation on the Word of God. Such spirituality is seen to be not merely self-serving but something that leads inevitably to a zeal for others to come to know such an awesome God.
