With the contemporary interest in spirituality, it is imperative that the church establish a comprehensive theology of Christian spirituality that can inform the life and witness of Christian believers. This course presents such a theology of spirituality: a theology that is biblical, practical, and contemporary, accounting for and enabling spiritual formation and nurture in a post-modern, pluralistic, materialistic society. In addition, the course provides a theological foundation for a life of prayer that will empower and sustain the believer in life and ministry.
Legacy CollectionThese courses were acquired from the Institute for Theological Studies. They were taught by reputable seminary faculty and tend to have longer lectures and many more lessons than other Artos courses. Many of these courses only contain audio files with no other learning activities. We invite you to enjoy these vintage classics!

An excellent course!
