SPIRITUALITY OLD AND NEW
Recovering Authentic Spiritual Life
By Donald G. Bloesch. Apollos/IVP. 192 pages. £9.99
ISBN 978-1-84474-195-3

Spirituality, one of the buzz words of the 90s, has a somewhat slippery feel to it, acting like an invisibility cloak that conceals 1001 ideas, good, bad and ugly!

It was, therefore, with a mixture of interest and caution that I began to read this relatively slim volume by Donald Bloesch; a highly regarded and prolific systematic theologian. The author defines spirituality as, ‘inseparable from theology. Indeed, it could be defined as living out of theology’. In a Schaeffer-like echo, Bloesch talks of ‘true spirituality’. I guess we are all interested in that.
