 In Eat This Book (ETB), which is about the supposed critical importance of using Lectio Divina (LD), a Roman Catholic practice of Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM), Eugene Peterson calls Hans  Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-1988) “the twentieth century’s premier theologian on Christian spirituality” and tells us that Balthasar “insisted that in matters of spirituality it is form that […]
