The author understands spirituality to be the attitudes, convictions, and practices that give a definite shape to religious faith. Further, he asserts that spirituality is experiential and practical, for it concerns the specific forms by which faith is expressed and nurtured. The book describes the special emphases of Lutheran spirituality and recommends practices that nurture a vital spirituality. After an introductory chapter on the contemporary context, each of the seven chapters explores a major theme of Lutheran spirituality. A final chapter speculates on the future of Lutheran spirituality. Each chapter includes questions for reflection and group and individual practices. An appendix gives suggestions for group use.
Bradley Hanson is professor emeritus of religion at Luther College, Decorah, Iowa.
"Pastors will find no better teaching tool to use in promoting reflection and dialogue in small groups." --Carl E. Braaten, former executive director, The Center for Catholic and Evangelical Theology "Brad Hanson has written the book that I've been waiting to read. . . He has marshaled his years of research and skill as a teacher to present a clear, comprehensive, and finally very moving book." --Timothy F. Lull, former president, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary
