Spiritual TheologyOur Sunday Visitor, 1998 - 797 pàgines Dispels the common misconception that ascetical and mystical theology is for the select few. The author reminds us that "the real purpose of the study of the spiritual life is not to produce scholars but to form holy Christians." Basing much of his work on St. Thomas Aquinas, St. John of the Cross, and St. Teresa, he proves that Christian perfection consists especially in charity, a charity richly rewarded in spiritual graces. |
