Review
"Minding the Spirit is a splendid opportunity for scholars and lay readers alike to listen in on an extended and engaging conversation by pioneering scholars whose work has given birth to the new field of spirituality. Well crafted and perceptively designed, this volume of lively essays is a major and first-rate contribution to this burgeoning yet youthful field of spirituality." -- Keith J. Egan, Aquinas Chair in Catholic Theology, Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, Indiana
"Fortunately, we now have in one book the basic documents needed to deal with questions and concerns central to academic study of Christian spirituality. Here the "founding mothers and fathers" of this new discipline clearly present their convictions regarding such issues as: what distinguishes this field from others? what characterizes its method? how can it be both self-implicating and critical? Written by seasoned faculty, these essays are excellent examples of how to practice what you teach." -- Joann Wolski Conn, Vice-President, Society for the Study of Christian Spirituality
