ePub Church-State Matters: Fighting for Religious Liberty in Our Nation's Capital (Baptist Series) by J Brent Walker in History

Description

How is it possible to live a spiritual life? What should the kernel of this spirituality be; in this world of crises; challenges; and change? From his immersion in the violent and struggle-filled reality of Central America; Jon Sobrino articulates a way to imbue the practice of liberation with spirituality - a dimension that critics often charge is lacking in liberation theology. Without spirit; practice degenerates. Without practice; spirit remains vague; undifferentiated; even alienated. Sobrino argues that the only authentic Christian practice is the following of Jesus in one's own history; that that discipleship must be lived in the spirit of Jesus; in heart and soul as well as world and deed.
