My Review of the "Dictionary for Christian Spirituality"


This resource is unique because it defines elements of Christian Spirituality. This dictionary looks at all sides of Christian spirituality even though I felt it was not complete in some areas as others. It does look at Reformed theology as well as Pentecostal and speaks of their differences.

There were some key figures from Christianity's past that were mentioned in this dictionary such as John Calvin and Martin Luther. There were some contemporary figures of Christianity mentioned but some were left out. I can understand putting Eugene Peterson in the dictionary because of his work in his paraphrase of the Bible called, The Message, but why did they leave out John Piper, who obviously has influenced a lot of people over the years.

As I said, there were some things in this dictionary that were left out, but overall a great resource to have for any pastor and Bible teacher.

Thanks to Zondervan for allowing me to review this book.
