CHRIST PLAYS IN TEN THOUSAND PLACES reunites spirituality and theology in a cultural context where these two vital facets of Christian faith have been rent asunder. Lamenting the vacuous, often pagan nature of contemporary American spirituality, Eugene Peterson here 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.
Writing in the conversational style that he is well known for, Peterson boldly sweeps out the misunderstandings that clutter conversations on spiritual theology and refurnishes the subject only with what is essential. 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 us.
The foundational book in a five-volume series on spiritual theology emerging from Peterson's pen, CHRIST PLAYS IN TEN THOUSAND PLACES provides the conceptual and directional help we all need to live the Christian gospel well and maturely in the conditions that prevail in the church and world today. 380 pages, from Eerdmans.

Book One in Eugene Peterson's landmark new five book series Spiritual Theology, CHRIST PLAYS IN TEN THOUSAND PLACES provides the conceptual and directional help we all need to live the Christian gospel well and maturely in the conditions that prevail in our world today. The Spiritual Theology series seeks to provide a completely fresh evaluation of Christian spirituality, past, present, and future. It draws on the very latest scholarship and understanding of biblical revelation, and will represent the most thorough and significant work on contemporary Christian spirituality by an evangelical author. Most writings in the field of spiritual theology represent mere dabblings. The more significant endeavours are impenetrably academic. Peterson's masterwork, which has been years in the making, is designed for those who are comfortable with being stretched, whether pastors, academics or lay leaders.

Eugene Peterson is convinced that the way we read the Bible is as important as that we read it.
- Do we read the Bible for information about God and salvation?
- For principles and "truths" that we can use to live better?
- Or do we read it in order to listen to God and respond in prayer and obedience?
The second part of Peterson's momentous five-volume work on spiritual theology,
Eat this Book challenges us to read the Scriptures on their own terms, as God's revelation, and to live them as we read them. With warmth and wisdom Peterson offers greatly needed, down-to-earth counsel on spiritual reading. In these pages he draws readers into a fascinating conversation on the nature of language, the ancient practice of lectio divina, and the role of Scripture translations; included here is the "inside story" behind Peterson's own popular Bible translation,
The Message
Countering the widespread practice of using the Bible for self-serving purposes, Peterson here serves readers with a nourishing entre into the formative, life-changing art of spiritual reading.
