The Strategy of the Spirit?

If you only read books you agree with, coming from a theological stable with which you are at home and confident, then I suspect you will want to avoid this one like the plague. The very constituency from which it comes will raise negative feelings in many, and the subject which it endeavours to deal with raises the hackles of others, for the author, Peter Hocken, is a Roman Catholic priest, both charismatic and overtly ecumenical, and that should be enough to be going on with. But 'go on' with it I suggest we must, not to agree necessarily, but to be informed and challenged by what this man has to say.
