The Soul's Pilgrimage. Volume 2 The Descent of the Dove and the Spiritual Life

Superb collection of sermons drawing on classical Christian wisdom - ideal for personal reading and as inspiration for clergy and students * Arranged to follow the principal celebrations of the ancient Christian Year * Robert D. Crouse is recognised by many, including Rowan Williams, as one of the finest contemplative theological minds of our age This rich volume is the second of two collecting 96 sermons by the late priest and theologian Robert D. Crouse - one of the finest contemplative theological minds of our age. They are arranged to follow the principal celebrations of the ancient Christian Year, so they can be read in step with the liturgical seasons. A Preface by Victoria Matthews and an Introduction by the collection's editor Gary Thorne highlight some of the connecting threads of the sermons - in particular the theme of Divine Friendship offered by the Gospel.
