Dictionary of Christian Spirituality

The Dictionary of Christian Spirituality reflects a broad interpretive framework for evangelical spiritual formation: a holistic and grace-filled spirituality that encompasses relational, transformational, and vocational dynamics. Contributors do, however, acknowledge the distinctive features of Reformed, Holiness, and Pentecostal paradigms of the spiritual life. And by bringing together writers from across the globe, this reference work is international in both its topical scope and contributors.

Entries give appropriate attention to concepts and formative figures in the evangelical tradition of spirituality that other reference works neglect. They offer a discerning orientation to ecumenical resources available and discuss alternate spiritualities without lapsing into relativism.

The Dictionary of Christian Spirituality is a biblically engaged, accessible, and relevant resource for all contemporary Christians.
