Editorial Reviews

In 13 essays, the contributors, members of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary faculty, explore the meaning of Christian spirituality in its theological, communal, and personal dimensions. Their concern is ``with that holistic spirituality which impacts every facet of human life.'' The authors' treatment of their topics vary considerably. Some are scholarly in tone while others are more personal, yet all are analytical and insightful. Readers from various traditions will find this thought-provoking reading. Recommended in particular for seminary and church libraries.--Cynthia Widmer, Downingtown, Pa.
