Description: Steven Lewis's Landscape as Sacred Space: Metaphors
for the Spiritual Journey invites new discussions about our
spiritual journeys and allows seekers to rethink approaches to
Christian spirituality and theology in light of postmodernity.
Landscape metaphors provide a common and accessible language to
articulate one's spiritual journey. Spiritual mountains, deserts,
and valleys are dominant landscapes on our journey through life.
Most people have experienced the joy of a mountaintop spiritual
experience, the pain of spiritual deserts, or perhaps the
dreariness too often associated with spiritual valleys. There is a
tendency, however, to highlight spiritual mountaintops, while
avoiding spiritual deserts and ignoring spiritual valleys. This
leaves many Christians ill-equipped either to deal with crises or
to integrate God into ordinary life. Each landscape offers rich
lessons that, when combined together, lead us toward a maturing
faith and into a deeper relationship with God. Landscape as Sacred
Space is intended to aid those who search for more meaningful ways
to articulate their faith journey. The book grants permission to
struggle with life's landscapes, provides safe spaces to reflect on
the journey, and introduces language that enables exploration and
discovery. Endorsements: ""Mountaintops, deserts, and
valleys--physical spaces at once familiar yet strange and apt
metaphors for moments in any person's life. Steve Lewis employs
these landscapes to help Christians consider the familiar and the
strange, the welcome and the avoided dimensions of their own
journeys of life and faith. Drawing on biblical resources and
classic traditions in spirituality to develop these landscape
metaphors, Lewis invites readers to a deeper appreciation of a
disciple's journey, a fuller sense of the myriad ways God invites a
disciple into intimacy, and a more finely honed sensitivity to
God's actions in the world. A refreshing perspective on the
spiritual journey."" --Patricia O'Connell Killen, Pacific Lutheran
University co-author of The Art of Theological Reflection. About
the Contributor(s): Steven Lewis, PhD, is the Academic Dean at
Bangor Theological Seminary in Portland, Maine.
