About This Book

A systematic theological treatment presents the nature, purpose, and practice of prayer and devotion as means toward union with God. It assembles and expounds treatises on the virtue of religion, various forms of devotion, the mechanics and merits of prayer, and the contemplative life, offering moral distinctions and practical instruction. The text contrasts contemplative and active modes of Christian living, examines the religious state and the efficacy of intercessory prayer, and warns of dangers in mystical practice. Passages from Augustine and scholastic commentators are woven in to clarify arguments drawn from rigorous theological method.
