    New Edition

    ISBN: 978-0800637095

    Publisher: Augsburg Fortress Publishers

     

    This accessible and engaging history provides an
    excellent primer on the two-millennium quest for
    union with God, a "thirst" at the center of Christian life and
    practice.

    Holt traces the practice of Christian devotion, prayer,
    and contemplation from the biblical and influential early
    periods through the diverse insights of the Reformation
    and modern eras. Globally framed, the book also highlights
    the contributions of women and people of color.

    This new edition not only updates all the chapters
    and features but also adds more material on the spirituality
    of Jesus, medieval women mystics, and contemporary
    spirituality. Short excerpts from primary sources, a glossary,
    a timeline, a bibliography, and a set of spiritual exercises
    heighten the book’s usefulness for students and lay persons
    alike.
