TOWARD A MALE 90017342 SPIRITUALITY JOHN GARMODY Passion for God and for the spiritual life an emotion unfamil iar to most men? In this intriguing and profound work, John Carmody argues for the development of a male spirituality based on experience and potential. In Toward a Male Spirituality, the author speaks from his own struggles and hopes, and introduces men who similarly share their thoughts and feelings. Key spiritual topics, such as prayer, work, and love, are dealt with and analyzed in terms of an enriching Christian approach. Unlike others who have attempted to develop a spirituality for men, Carmody stresses the theological, rather than psychologi- cal, underpinnings of such a spirituality, and offers a clear ap- peal for a more open, emotionally-informed faith among men. There is a rich theology behind Carmody's words. He uses themes put forth by theologians Karl Rahner and Edward Schil- lebeeckx as a basis for exploring a relationship with God. His methods are both creative and deep, enabling readers to find their own way to envision God, and establish a workable, day- to-day connection with the Trinity. 248 Car t0896224104 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 248 Car t E08001557 Non Fiction 248 Car t 81PKoHgUflL._SL1500_.jpg 29222 2014-11-13 15:11:01 2025-01-23 11:13:18 machine generated
