Embracing Contemplation

Reclaiming a Christian Spiritual Practice

Herausgeber: Coe, John H.; Strobel, Kyle C.

Beschreibung

What does a Christian life lived "by the Spirit" look like? Bringing together Protestant scholars and practitioners of spiritual formation, this volume offers a distinctly evangelical consideration of the benefits of contemplation. Drawing on historical examples from the church-including John Calvin, Richard Baxter, Jonathan Edwards, and John Wesley-this book considers how contemplative prayer can shape Christian living today.
