Additional Info
A landmark text on the history of Christian spirituality embarks on the journey afresh. This accessible and engaging history provides an excellent primer on the two-millennium experience of the presence of God, a “thirst” at the center of Christian life and practice. Holt traces the spiritual practices of Christian devotion, prayer, action, and contemplation from the biblical and influential early periods through the diverse insights of Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant Christians. Globally framed, the book highlights the local contributions of people from all continents, a wide array of traditions and perspectives as unified yet diverse voices. They give witness to the thirst for God who graciously supplies living water.

This new edition not only updates all the chapters and features but also adds new chapters on interfaith spirituality, ecology and spirituality, and spiritual practice in the digital age. Excerpts and illustrations from primary sources, maps, a glossary, a timeline, new bibliographies, and sets of spiritual exercises heighten the book’s usefulness for students and lay persons alike.
