Authentic Spirituality is an invitation to discover the rich textures and contours of the catholic Christian tradition.

This book is a clarion call to the church to move beyond both a dead orthodoxy and an amorphous liberalism to a dynamic orthodoxy--a Word united with the Spirit.

—Donald G. Bloesch, emeritus, Dubuque Theological Seminary

Barry Callen has written a work on Christian spirituality that is both ecumenicalin scope and engaging in its conversation. It is informed by the streams of both Scripture and tradition in a way that certainly will attract a wide audience. I highly recommend this work.

—Kenneth J. Collins, Asbury Theological Seminary

Christian spirituality aims at a full and authentic Christian existence. In this present book, Barry Callen gives us a comprehensive perspective on Christian existence and much encouragement to deepen our walk with God.

—Clark H. Pinnock, McMaster Divinity College

Barry L. Callen has placed us in his debt by this fresh treatment that clarifies the subject and illumines the path to the experience to which we are summoned in the New Testament. Here is a timely and helpful manual on the truly Christian experience of God in Christ through the Spirit.

—James Earl Massey, dean emeritus, Anderson University

Insightfully, Dr. Callen has drawn from the best of Christian thinkers and saints from every Christian century in presenting the framework of Christian spirituality. His organizing principle, founded on the Bible, the Apostles’ Creed,, and the Christian tradition, presents a safe home for believers lost in the postmodern swirl of any-things-goes pluralistic spirituality.

—Wesley D. Tracy, Herald of Holiness
