Synopsis

In Revisioning Spirituality, John Markey and Michael Ceragioli explore the power of a communal imagination to renew the understanding and practice of Christian spirituality. The book traces a lineage that evolved against the grain of mainstream radical individualism in the United States, with roots in the thought of philosophers William James, Josiah Royce, and Charles Sanders Peirce, and echoes in the likes of Thomas Merton, Martin Luther King Jr., and Barbara Holmes.

By engaging with American philosophers, spiritual exemplars, and the recent pioneers of the discipline of Christian spirituality, a new picture of the promise of spirituality emerges, relevant for all those interested in the dynamics of the human encounter with God in an age of fragmentation.

"We live in an intensely individualistic and deeply divided society. We frequently hear phrases like: ‘I’m spiritual but not religious’ and ‘I’ve done my own research on this! I don’t trust the official story!’ How does one articulate a Christian spirituality in this context? John Markey and Michael Ceragioli do precisely that, offering a perspective that challenges as it unites and converts as it heals. A much-needed book."
―Ronald Rolheiser, author of The Holy Longing; professor of spirituality, Oblate School of Theology, San Antonio, TX

"John Markey and Michael Ceragioli have written a revolutionary book, one that effectively reimagines the primary assumptions undergirding the discipline of spirituality. In these pages, religious experience is invariably communal and social as well as personal, which means that the transformation of the human person is always at the same time a communal transformation. Beautifully written, spiritually deepening."
―Nancy Pineda-Madrid, past president, Catholic Theological Society of America (CTSA); Professor and T. Marie Chilton Chair of Catholic Theology, Loyola Marymount University
