Produktbeschreibung
This volume discusses the importance of a multidimensional and multidisciplinary approach to Christian formation based upon godly love and the imago Dei (Latin, image of God). Grounded biblically and theologically, this interdisciplinary collection offers perspectives drawn from spirituality, ethics, philosophy, psychology, counselling, ecclesiology, physical health sciences, and leadership studies. Contributors address spiritual, emotional, and psychological formation, while highlighting how suffering has the potential to draw one closer to God and others. The book also details vocational development, appropriate stewardship of the physical body, and the ways in which the Eucharist sacramentally contributes to the process of formation. The book concludes with a call for further exploration of additional research trajectories, not the least of which is how Christian formation contributes to the missio Dei, the mission of God.

Rezensionen
"The Holy Spirit and Christian Formation edited by Diane J. Chandler is an important addition to the bookshelf of pastors, practical theologians, and Christian counselors. ... By offering this multidisciplinary perspective, Chandler brings to light the need for conversations surrounding Christian formation that calls for a holistic and integrative move towards Christ-likeness for the whole self."
