TRANSFORMATION - EOLENE BOYD-MACMILLAN KARTONIE...

Transformation is a desired outcome of Christian spirituality. Christians pray  trust  and hope
that their responsive embrace of God will transform them. Interdisciplinary study of this
process  as journey and as significant movements  hits upon key philosophical  theological  and
psychological debates. Are all spiritualities the same core with an overlay of traditional
practices and beliefs? How is the Holy Spirit involved in human life as the potential for this
transformation process unfolds from birth? Can psychological theories of transformation that do
not affirm divine reality have explanatory and descriptive power for Christian understandings
of transformation? These areas of focus and related questions encompass broad landscapes. This
book places a magnifying glass on one piece of the terrain by engaging the work of philosopher
theologian  and psychologist James Loder  mystical spirituality scholars Andrew Louth  Bernard
McGinn  Denys Turner  and Mark McIntosh  and archetypal movement founder James Hillman. Without
denying differences  this work is the first analysis to identify connections among these
thinkers. The significance of the connections is both substantive and methodological for intra-
and inter-faith (broadly understood) spirituality discussion  as well as for the engagement of
the Christian church with the culture of the twenty-first century.
