Synopsis

Introduction to the Spiritual Life is, by author Louis Bouyers own description, a manual for practical use. It aims to cultivate interior growth through a thoughtful, reasoned meditation on the spiritual meaning of the Gospel as proclaimed by the Catholic Church. It is more than a work of spirituality or apologeticsit is in fact, a rare hybrid of the two genres, produced with an expertise and confidence born of a lifetime of prayer and study. One of the great theologians of the twentieth centruy, Bouyer was a close friend of Joseph Ratzinger and Hans Urs von Bathasar, and was one of the founders of the journal Communio. Introduction to the Spiritual Life is a prime example of his workboth doctrinally sound and alive with the Spirit. Catholics who read Introduction to the Spiritual Life will come to a better appreciation of how the life of prayer is shaped and enriched by sound Christian doctrine.
