[Ephrem Arcement · Rating 4 out of 5]

Haight's passion is to fashion a theology and spirituality for the post-modern person. He has been criticized for taking this project too far, especially in regard to his christology. That comes through here in this book at moments but his general approach is otherwise highly commendable and even desperately necessary. We need more books seeking to accomplish what Haight seeks to accomplish in this work: to see the Christian life (spirituality and theology) a one integral whole. Haight takes us through a phenomenological unfolding of Christian faith from creation theology/spirituality, anthropology, christology, ecclesiology, trinity, and eschatology. The penultimate chapter ("Mission, Spirit, and the Church") is the strongest and definitely worth your time.
