Spirit, Soul, Body

Father Cyprian Consiglio is a burning original on the religious scene with the vision, the wisdom and the courage to give us something necessary and new. Professional musician, scholar, constant traveler and deeply Zen-inflected Christian yogi, he speaks for a new world in which rigorous discipline is sweetened by discerning openness and hope. And he writes with an eloquence and erudition that at once commands and informs. This is a book I hope many will learn from.

There is no denying the power of lived examples such as that of Fr. Bede Griffiths to anchor any integrated spirituality in the holy life of an individual. That is where what Consiglio calls the "fine point of the soul" is really honed. May there be numerous readers of this work who are committed to the prospect of finding and exemplifying this "fine point of the soul" by taking the words of the book to heart and learning from the example of Griffiths, Chardin, and so many others who have gone before us.American Benedictine Review
