An Outline of New Testament Spirituality

In this compact book Prosper Grech provides an overview of the various elements of spirituality present in the New Testament. Grech, an Augustinian Father, defines -spirituality- not in a New Age sense but rather as -the full response in the life of a believer to God's offer of salvation in Christ.- He outlines key spiritual themes of early Christian belief drawn from Genesis, the Psalms, the Synoptic Gospels, Paul's epistles, the letter to the Hebrews, and the Johannine Gospel, letters, and apocalypse -- all crucial documents in the life of the New Testament churches. Drawing these various theological strands together, Grech crafts a complex portrait of a dynamic yet contemplative Christian spirituality -- a spirituality that not only saturated the New Testament church but continues to animate Christian life today.
