How Then Shall We Guide?

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Burgeoning interest in Christian spirituality is no evidence of its informed practice. Jimmy Tan’s timely book addresses the neglect of historical context and theological foundations in the practice of spiritual guidance. Offering critical and comparative accounts of Ignatius and Calvin on spiritual direction, Tan demonstrates how the threefold perspective of method, history, and theology enriches its practice across the Ignatian and Reformed traditions. I commend this sure-footed study that recovers themes of considerable importance for anyone interested in spiritual theology and formation.”
