Audio Course THE CHRISTIAN LIFE: AN EVANGELICAL SPIRITUAL THEOLOGY With the extensive contemporary interest in spirituality, it is imperative that we establish a comprehensive theology of Christian spirituality that can inform the life and witness of Christian believers. For this theology to be effective in under girding Christian experience, it needs to have distinctive features. It needs to be biblical, trinitarian, historical, and church-connected. Finally, it needs to be practical and contemporary which for believers in the 21st century means that it must account for and enable spiritual formation and nurture in a post-modern, pluralistic, materialistic society. In all respects, a theology of Christian spirituality needs to provide a theological foundation for a life of prayer from which the Christian life can be lived and sustained.
