An Outline Of New Testament Spirituality [Paperback]

In this compact book Prosper Grech provides an overview of the various elements of spirituality present in the New Testament. Grech, an Augustinian Father, defines spirituality not in a New Age sense but rather as the full response in the life of a believer to Gods offer of salvation in Christ. He outlines key spiritual themes of early Christian belief drawn from Genesis, the Psalms, the Synoptic Gospels, Pauls epistles, the letter to the Hebrews, and the Johannine Gospel, letters, and apocalypse  all crucial documents in the life of the New Testament churches. Drawing these various theological strands together, Grech crafts a complex portrait of a dynamic yet contemplative Christian spirituality  a spirituality that not only saturated the New Testament church but continues to animate Christian life today.
