Additional Info
Many discussions of Christian spirituality draw on a range of traditions and “disciplines”. However, little attention appears to have been given to the Bible itself as a source of spirituality, or to its teaching on this theme. In response, Peter Adam urges us to renew our confidence in a biblical model of spirituality, and to test our spirituality by the Bible. Drawing on a selection of Old and New Testament texts, along with signifigant insights from the Christian tradition, he expounds the shape and structure of a gospel-centered “spirituality of the word”, through which we receive the life that God gives, and know God himself.
