Inhaltsangabe

A group of leading scholars has written a book arguing for the revitalisation of Christian spiritual traditions. Relying heavily on the spiritual genius of the great masters of the past - Augustine, Ignatius of Loyola, Teresa of Avila - this is also a book culturally attuned to men and women today. There are brilliant chapters on Samuel Beckett, Patrick Kavanagh, and Tony de Mello, and on the value of past classics for present spiritual growth. There is here no intellectual pirouetting - this is the theology of experience and of existential openness to transcendence.
