Word & Spirit: Intimations Of A New Springtime

The author writes: 'Many men and women have told me that they like to read books which help them to understand and practice their faith in a more enlightened fashion. With this in mind I have written Word and Spirit which consists of material drawn from different sources: articles for magazines, courses I have taught, and conference talks I have given. I have also written nine chapters specifically for this book. Some of them are short and simple and others longer and a little more difficult. In all of them I have aimed to steer a middle course between an abstract academic approach and a more pastoral and spiritual one.
