This volume arose out of a deep concern to assist people in their
struggle to lead a flourishing life. Fractured, stressed,
relationally broken and spiritually empty people may instinctively
reach for the supposed panacea of happiness. But happiness is often
a transitory state. More stable and worthwhile than the pursuit of
happiness is leading a flourishing life. But what is flourishing?
Is spirituality necessary for human flourishing and, if so, in what
ways might spirituality provide a unique and important contribution
to flourishing? The volume provides complementary yet diverse
accounts of human flourishing. Each account argues that
spirituality in general, and Christian spirituality in particular,
are vital contributors to flourishing. The volume will be valuable
for those who are dissatisfied with popular hedonistic approaches
to flourishing. Such people are ready for a change in approach, but
often do not have a clear alternative in view. The Volume will
provide a clear alternative to popular culture's representation of
the flourishing person, which is largely vested in conspicuous
consumption. The book will also be valuable for those who have
considered alternatives to popular culture, but who lack an
informed basis on which to evaluate these alternatives. Finally,
the book will be valuable for those who are committed to Christian
spirituality but may not appreciate the rich resources which
Christian faith offers for human flourishing. Amongst the latter
group are included Christian leaders such as priests and pastors,
voluntary church workers and lay people who may or may not be
involved in formal religion but who long to flourish in their own
lives and to enable others to do the same.
