Asking the Fathers: (SPCK Classics)

Christian Books & Bibles

The practice of meditation and prayer today attracts many people who, with a little of the right inspiration, often make a good beginning, but find it difficult to continue. The author of Asking the Fathers believes that many of the difficulties in prayer stem from the lack of an over-all view of life consistent with the practice of authentic prayer, such as the great spiritual masters of the past have taught. Thus, this book aims to trace the main lines of the teachings of the spiritual giants throughout Christian history, both in form and method. It is hoped that this teaching will be seen as a connected whole, but the author is well aware that various parts of it are meant to be returned to as need and inclination suggest.. Asking the Fathers is , then more than an anthology; it will be, for many, a library of spiritual classics. Aelred Squire was born in London, educated at Oxford, became a member of the Dominican Order after World War II, served for some eighteen years as a teacher - chiefly of theological students and religious, and is now a parish priest in Lillehammer, Norway.

A pioneer Aelred scholar, the late Aelred Squire introduces readers to `the English Saint Bernard' by chronicling his life, his monastic treatises on the spiritual life, and the historical and hagiographical works he wrote for those outside the cloister. Those unfamiliar with Aelred will be introduced to a fascinating person; those who know some of his works will be amazed at the broadness of his interest and influence.
