Leech is the rare animal who can do good theology and good spirituality. In fact, he sees little difference between the two. I wish I had found this book in seminary. I would have gotten more out of the theology I was studying at the time.

Leech goes over several ancient themes, which he updates, and he does a good job or lending theological as well as spiritual understanding of the Christian faith.

I wish more people would read this book. Non-theologians would benefit by his emphasis on theology, and theologian would benefit by how he makes theology practical for the practicing Christian. ( )
