Spiritual Theology

By Jordan Aumann

Book Overview

The first part of Prof Jordan Aumann's magisterial Spiritual Theology is concerned with the theological principles of Christian holiness, while the second and major part derives from those principles' practical directives for the individual Christian's 'growth in holiness'. Based firmly on the work of three classical masters - St Thomas Aquinas, St John of the Cross, and St Teresa of Avila - this text has already proved of great benefit to contemporary students and general readers seeking to inform and develop their own spiritual lives.

A Definitive Text on Spirituality

Both Spiritual Theology and the companion book, Christian Spirituality in the Catholic Tradition are highly recommended --must reads!-- for those seeking to become Third Order Dominicans (Dominican Laity). My knowledge of The Catholic Church and the Church's understanding of santification grew immeasurably!

Difficult, but more than worth the effort!

This is a must read for one who honestly wishes to understand and grow in the spiritual life. It is challenging - both in its depth of content and its call to personal purification. It is to be read slowly, studiously and prayerfully.
