Remarkable clarity

This book give a most concise and remarkably clear expose of the development of Christian spirituality through the last 2,000 years. This is an amazing achievement on the part of the author - given the scope of the subject matter. It's an invaluable resource for anyone researching Christian spirituality, methods of reflection, or prayer. And it has many excellent references for followup if required. I found it to be the most helpful single reference source on the topic I've ever encountered. It cannot be too highly recommended.

The Introduction is worth the price of the book

This work is a collection of spiritual biorgaphies and Urban T Holmes analyzes the spiritual approaches of great Christian thinkers, looking specifically at different spiritual approaches. The introduction is fantastic. Holmes looks at the ways that people approach God on a matrix. In crude terms less technical than those used by Holmes, he contrasts a head approach with a heart approach, and a focus on the revealed things about God and a focus on the unknown mystery of God. It is really a great study of spirituality.
