Overview

Thornton's classic text surveying the English pastoral tradition answers the basic questions "How does an Anglican spiritual guide go about the job?" and "What body of knowledge is required for competent guidance and how should it be applied?" His survey moves from the New Testament to St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and the English tradition's Celtic roots. Concludes with a comprehensive guide for spiritual directors.

I know of no other book that rivals Thornton's work as a clear and well written compilation of so much valuable material, not only about English spirituality, but about ascetical theology in general, and its application to modern-day pastoral care.
