Modern Spirituality: an Anthology:
Edited by : John Garvey - Paperback
Print: February 1997. Actual size: 0.39" x 8.42" x 5.50"
- 144 Pages. The purpose of this anthology is to offer a sampling
of some of the best modern spiritual writers. There
is a range of emphases here; there are also several
religious traditions represented, and this may require
some explanation. Buber and Heschel are here because of
the deep influence these two Jewish thinkers have
had on modern Christian thought. Similarly,
Simone Weil's influence is undeniable...although
she was never baptized, she was a believer in
Christianity who had a unique feeling for the
universal nature of God's revelation. The presence
of Chägyam Trungpa, a Buddhist, may require
a little more explanation. The basic reason for
his being here is quite personal: I find what he
has to say about "spiritual materialism" very
important. I think the readers of this anthology
will find that it applies to the spirituality of
any tradition...I hope other readers will find
the authors represented here as helpful as I have.
- John Garvey
For those who explore the minds of others, the
searching Christian will find nuggets of treasure
in this thought-provoking work presented by Garvey.
Although at Adam2.org, we do not ascribe to the
doctrines and teachings of other religions, we do
find elements of thought that run within the grain
of our own human approaches into the spirituality of
our own faith. It is with this reason we recommend
this book to the maturing Christian to take from it
that which may be pertinent in their own advancing
growth in the area of meditation and prayer.
