Spiritual Theology Paperback – June 1, 1980

by Jordan Aumann (Author)
4.7 out of 5 stars 84 ratings
The first part of Prof Jordan Aumann's magisterial Spiritual Theology is concerned with the theological principles of Christian holiness, while the second and major part derives from those principles' practical directives for the individual Christian's 'growth in holiness'. Based firmly on the work of three classical masters - St Thomas Aquinas, St John of the Cross, and St Teresa of Avila - this text has already proved of great benefit to contemporary students and general readers seeking to inform and develop their own spiritual lives.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reading and Great Scholarship
    Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2014

    Most people when speaking about spirituality in the modern age think in terms of something that is very wishy-washy. I've heard that phrase, "I'm spiritual but not religious" many times in the course of ministry. This book is not for those people. Aumann clearly lays out the concrete principles of spiritual theology for a serious thinker.

    This textbook on spiritual theology is the standard for the subject matter. Aumann uses thomistic and carmelite principles in approaching the topic of spiritual theology. This book is not a "how-to," rather it is a treatise on the spiritual life. It is meant for the graduate level study of this topic. Aumann shows his masterful scholarship in this field. His footnotes provide excellent resources for much reading in the future. If you've never read an academic theology book before this one is worth making your way through. It might take time but it is worth it. The last chapter on "The Discernment of Spirits" is critically important.

    This is without a doubt the best resouce on spritual theology that I have read. In addition to thouroghly covering the topic, what I enjoyed most about this resouce is the methodical and complete way Fr. Auumen covers the critical subject of Nature and Grace. I rarely write reviews, but this book demands a "thumbs up" for anyone who either has a passing interest in the subject of grace or the serious theologian.

    I came here looking for the ISBN number so that I could put it in a syllabus for a course I'm teaching--however the "description" on the amazon page for this book is actually for a different book by different authors. I wasn't sure how to notify Amazon about this, but you have the wrong description on this page.

    Jordan Aumann must have been a spectacular lecturer. The fact that his name is attached to book indicates its great value in the wonderful insights he always imparts.
