"""This book does theologians an unusual service. It is common to find authors writing about the connections between theology and prayer, but rare to find such rich and specific guidance as Gary Eaborn gives here. With striking clarity and compelling insight, he shows that Ignatian prayer might enable theologians to grow in spiritual discernment and wean themselves from dreams of mastery."" --Mike Higton, professor of theology and ministry, Durham University ""It is easy to lament the gap between theology and spirituality, and it is not too hard to make broad claims about bringing theology and prayer together. But what does it actually look like to do so? I don't know of anyone who addresses this question as seriously and responsibly as Gary Eaborn has done in this wonderfully clear and reliable work."" --Karen Kilby, professor of Catholic theology, Durham University ""Gary Eaborn's Theology and Prayer is a genuinely significant and distinctive contribution to the growing academic literature on the relationship between theology and prayer. At once learned, insightful, encouraging, and deeply experientially reflected, it deserves to be widely read by any who are interested in the practice of theology as vocation and in theological epistemology."" --Paul D. Murray, professor of systematic theology, Durham University"
