Publisher: Augsburg Fortress Publishers

This accessible and engaging history provides an
excellent primer on the two-millennium quest for
union with God, a "thirst" at the center of Christian life and
practice.

Holt traces the practice of Christian devotion, prayer,
and contemplation from the biblical and influential early
periods through the diverse insights of the Reformation
and modern eras. Globally framed, the book also highlights
the contributions of women and people of color.

This new edition not only updates all the chapters
and features but also adds more material on the spirituality
of Jesus, medieval women mystics, and contemporary
spirituality. Short excerpts from primary sources, a glossary,
a timeline, a bibliography, and a set of spiritual exercises
heighten the book’s usefulness for students and lay persons
alike.
