Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places

Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places reunites spirituality and theology in a cultural context where these two vital facets of Christian faith have been torn asunder. As Peterson shows, spiritual theology, in order to be at once biblical and meaningful, must remain sensitive to ordinary life, present the Christian gospel, follow the narrative of Scripture, and be rooted in the 'fear of the Lord'; in short, spiritual theology must be about God and not about people. In this first book in a five-volume series on spiritual theology, Eugene Peterson firmly grounds spirituality once more in Trinitarian theology and offers a clear, practical statement of what it means to actually live out the Christian life.
