Invitation to Christian Spirituality: An Ecumenical Anthology

Although I originally purchased this book for my seminary church history class, I find I won't be stopping at the required reading. Tyson does an excellent job of giving enough information on each writer to grasp their beliefs but not enough to bog the reader down in details. Some of his articles are almost a tease, enticing one to want to read more about those writers. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about their Christian spiritual heritage.

This book is a larger treatment of Dr. Tyson's theme found in "Faith, Doubt, and Courage" (Abingdon Press, 2008). Using original sources, the author brings together the thoughts and theological perspectives of Christian writers from Ignatius of Antioch in the second century to contemporary theologians such as Thomas Merton, Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosemary Radford Ruether. The excerpted anthology encourages readers to consider further exploration of ecumenical influences on today's Christianity.

Since I have not started class yet I can only reply how quickly I got the book. Later after I start studying, I might adjust this. Good job.

This book will serve to strengthen your life and encourage you in your search for a deeper spiritual journey. It will give you a great insight into the lives of those who experienced a deep understanding of their theology.

superb and unique collection of annotated readings that are historically and spiritually important

third time i bought the book. first copy was given to a friend, the second left behind during travels. this one i'm keeping for myself.

Great for history of Christianity studies!

Excellent excerpts of religious history - key primary sources already sorted out for you.
