Description
Christian Spirituality by Karen E. Smith is an exploration of the nature of Christian spirituality within community. This book brings together biblical, historical and pastoral reflections to examine the relationship between doctrine and experience in Christian practice. Rather than focusing on specific activities, this text seeks to understand spirituality as it unfolds within the context of relationships and communities. It argues that Christian spirituality must be rooted in a search for meaning, and introduces a range of Christian writers to illustrate the diverse ways in which this search has been expressed throughout history. Through its exploration of these three themes - belief, search, and relationship - this book offers a nuanced understanding of Christian spirituality as an ongoing dialogue between doctrine and experience.
