For all the Saints: Evangelical Theology and Christian Spirituality

by Timothy George, Alister McGarth

How do theology and spirituality relate to one another? How does the Christian heart connect with the Christian mind? This collection of essays from leading evangelical theologians and writers addresses these concerns through providing scholarly and personal reflections. Here you will find discussion of the integration of theology and spirituality, biblical and classical sources for spiritual formation, a critique of how evangelicals have uncritically appropriated the rhetoric of spirituality, and also the use and abuse of spiritual disciplines by evangelicals.

Reviews

[Cole Shiflet · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was fantastic. I loved the diverse perspectives presented throughout this book, but specifically enjoyed how many Beeson professors were represented. Can’t recommend this book enough.

It's always difficult to review a book of articles by various authors, for some chapters will touch and inspire while others not so much, but overall this was a very good and thoughtful book.
