Reviews

This volume is well organized, thoughtfully assembled, and brings together an incredible list of senior scholars alongside younger contributors. It is uniformly stellar, a rare feat for a volume of this size. Perhaps its most impressive trait is simply the quality of contributors .. It would make an excellent text in upper-divisional undergraduate and graduate courses that address spirituality and theology, and many of the essays would be helpful texts to supplement courses in theology and spirituality respectively. * Kyle Strobel, International Journal of Systematic Theology * An up-to-date and informative work of reference ... succinct and accessible. * David Lonsdale, The Way *
