One author that I have always appreciated his expertise is Alister McGrath. I have many of his works on Reformation thought and the spirituality of the Reformers. Recently, I read his Introduction to Christian Spirituality. The issue of Christian spirituality is a hot potato in evangelical ranks these days. If people had questions as related to what is meant by spirituality and how is it demonstrated in the church, then McGrath’s work will be beneficial. In typical McGrath style, he paints in broad sweeping strokes. He excels in clarity as this book attests. Throughout the work, McGrath seeks to describe the Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant perspectives of various spiritual practices and beliefs. It is a good tool if one desires an accurate survey of what constitutes Christian Spirituality.
