Book four of Eugene Peterson's landmark Spiritual Theology series; foundational reading for the twenty-first century church.
THE WORD MADE FLESH is Eugene Peterson at his best: writing about words and the way we are called to use them.
Continuing Peterson's evaluation of contemporary Christian Spirituality, THE WORD MADE FLESH is an extended meditation on language and the way it should be used in Christian community.
As with the first three books in the series, THE WORD MADE FLESH is written for both lay and academic audiences. Challenging but deeply rewarding, it combines scholarship with the human experience and lightness of touch for which Peterson is known.
Also available in the Spiritual Theology series: Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places, Eat This Book, The Jesus Way and Practise Resurrection.
