Dictionary Of Christian Spirituality

---

In recent decades Christian spirituality- spiritual formation and spiritual theology have become important concepts in the global evangelical community. Consequently- an accessible and reliable academic resource is needed on these topics---one that will offer a discerning orientation to the wealth of ecumenical resources available while still highlighting the distinct heritage and affirming the core grace-centered values of classic evangelical spirituality. The Dictionary of Christian Spirituality reflects an overarching interpretive framework for evangelical spiritual formation: a holistic and grace-filled spirituality that encompasses relational (connecting)- transformational (becoming)- and vocational (doing) dynamics. At the same time- contributors respectfully acknowledge the differences between Reformed- Holiness- and Pentecostal paradigms of the spiritual life. And- by bringing together writers from around the world who share a common orthodoxy- this reference work is truly global and international in both its topical scope and contributors. Entries give appropriate attention to concepts- concerns- and formative figures in the evangelical tradition of spirituality that other reference work neglect. They offer a discerning orientation to the wealth of ecumenical resources available- exploring the similarities and differences between Christianity and alternate spiritualities without lapsing into relativism. The Dictionary of Christian Spirituality is a resource that covers a wide range of topics relating to Christian spirituality and is biblically engaged- accessible- and relevant for all contemporary Christians.
