Holiness: New Century Theology
Autor Donna Orsutoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 noi 2006
The goal of the Christian life is to become a people among whom the Holy One dwells. For Christians, holiness can only be achieved through a relationship with Jesus. Donna Orsuto begins by examining the Hebrew Scriptures and showing how the concept of holiness is intimately intertwined with the idea of God. Orsuto offers a contemporary Christian understanding of holiness and considers topics such as the uniqueness of Christian holiness in a multi-faith society, the use and abuse of psychology in the quest for Christian holiness, and the dilemma of how the 'one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church' can also be in need of reform.

Recenzii
"Eminently readable..." "The merits of Orsuto's work are many. First, she is a clear writer. Second she pays due attention to both the history of spirituality and the canons of serious theology. She never falls prey to the temptation to turn spirituality into anthropology, sociology, or psychology, though she is well aware the contirubitons these disciplines may make. She is above all a theologian, and it is her particular gift to articulate a theological vision of Christian spirituality in a soldly accessible way. I can easily imagine it being used in college classes and in adult formation classes...the well-placed subheads in each chapter are especially useful for pedagogical purposes."
"Donna Orsuto is uniquely gifted to write such a volume. She teaches spiritual theology at the Gregorian University and is also long time director of the Lay Center at Foyer Unitas, an ecumenical think tank in the heart of Rome. Her combination of academic precision and lived inter-religious sensitivity is rare, and her talents as a spiritual theologian and writer shine brilliantly through these pages." David Meconi, St. Louis University, Heythrop Journal
"This is a clear, attractive and very well researched study of an utterly central theme:Christian holiness. The book thoroughly deserves to be properly acclaimed and widely read"
"The seeker turning to this book will find a blueprint for holiness - whether formally or informally recognised - that is attractive and surprising"
