Alive to God

de J. M. Houston, J. I. Packer, Loren Wilkinson

"If an earlier generation people sometimes were said to be so heavenly-minded that they were no earthly good," begins Carl F.H. Henry, "in our day the very opposite is more apt to be the case." At the same time the hunger for spiritual vitality is growing. What, therefore, is the nature of spiritual experience, and how can it be integrated into Christian and academic disciplines? This is the task that over twenty scholars have set for themselves in this important work on a topic of increasing significance for the church. After dealing with biblical and exegetical issues, they take up theological and historical concerns, closing with integrative and interdisciplinary approaches.
