In Rome in A.D. 165, two men named Carpus and Papylus stood before
the proconsul of Pergamum, charged with the crime of being
Christians. Not even torture could make them deny Christ, so they
were burned alive. Is my faithfulness as strong? In the fifth
century, Melania the Younger and her husband, Pinian, distributed
their enormous wealth to the poor and intentionally practiced the
discipline of renunciation. Could living more simply deepen my
trust in God? In the sixteen hundreds, Philipp Jakob Spener's love
for the Word of God and his desire to help people apply the Bible
to their life moved him to start "Colleges of Piety," or small
groups. In what ways could commitment to community make me more
like Christ? The history of the church has shaped what our faith
and practice are like today. It's tempting to think that the way we
do things now is best, but history also has much to teach us about
what we've forgotten. InWater from a Deep Well, Gerald Sittser
opens to us the rich history of spirituality, letting us gaze at
the practices and stories of believers from the past who had the
same thirst for God that we do today. As we see their deep faith
through his vibrant narratives, we may discover that old ways can
bring new life to our own spirituality.
