Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places: A Conversation in Spiritual Theology reunites spirituality and theology, two vital facets of life and faith that have been rent asunder. Lamenting the vacuous, often pagan nature of contemporary spirituality, Eugene Peterson firmly grounds spirituality once more in Trinitarian theology and offers a clear, practical statement of what it means to actually live out the Christian life. Spiritual theology, in order to be biblical and meaningful, must remain sensitive to ordinary life, present the Christian gospel, follow the narrative of Scripture, and rooted in the "fear of the Lord"--spiritual theology must be about God and not about us. The foundational book in a five-volume series, Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places provides conceptual and directional help for well living the Christian gospel. Eerdmans, hardcover, 380 pages.
