This book explores the implications of recent insights in modern
neuroscience for the church's view of spiritual formation. Science
suggests that functions of the brain and body in collaboration with
social experience, rather than a disembodied soul, provide physical
basis for the mental capacities, interpersonal relations, and
religious experiences of human beings. The realization that human
beings are wholly physical, but with unique mental, relational, and
spiritual capacities, challenges traditional views of Christian
life as defined by the care of souls, a view that leads to
inwardness and individuality. Psychology and neuroscience suggest
the importance of developmental openness, attachment, imitation,
and stories as tools in spiritual formation. Accordingly, the idea
that care of embodied persons should be fundamentally social and
communal sets new priorities for encouraging spiritual growth and
building congregations.
