NSBT 16: Hearing God's Words

Exploring Biblical Spirituality.Many discussions of
Christian spirituality draw on a range of traditions and 'disciplines.' Little
attention, however, appears to have been given to the Bible itself for its
teaching on this theme or as a source of spirituality. Similarly, it is
commonly assumed that, when it comes to spirituality, the evangelical tradition
has little to offer.

In response, Peter Adam urges us to renew our
confidence in a biblical model of spirituality and to test our spirituality by
the Bible. Drawing on a selection of Old and New Testament texts, along with
significant insights from the Christian tradition (including John Calvin and
the Puritans), he expounds the shape and structure of a gospel-centered
'spirituality of the Word' through which we know God himself and receive the
life he gives.'By appealing both to the Bible and to influential
voices in the history of the church (notably John Calvin), Adam manages to
combine biblical theology and historical theology in an admirable synthesis.
His academic training, years of pastoral ministry, and now principalship of a
theological college, ensure that this book simultaneously informs the mind,
warms the heart and strengthens the will.' - D.A. CarsonSeries: New
