Editorial Review:
One of the most popular current views on spirituality is that there are varied paths to God. In this new Ancient-Future series book, Bob Webber evaluates this common misunderstanding of spirituality as separated from God's story, extremely self-focused, and shaped by our surrounding culture. This challenging work offers a corrective, calling us to an alternative Christian spirituality, one that reveals two sides-that of God's "divine embrace" of us and our passionate response. The Divine Embrace is a fresh, grounded look at true spirituality that will be embraced by pastors, thinking Christians, and anyone looking for an engaging and thorough treatment of this topic.

He guides the reader through past trends in Christian spirituality, their implications for the culture and church in which they occurred, and how they contributed to the current climate of Christian spirituality in North America. The Divine Embrace is a highly recommended volume for the honest critique of misguided spiritualities and Christ-formed suggestions ... Read More
Rating: - A book of unity in the Church
This book was really good. It tells of how to have unity in the church.
Rating: - The richness of Webber's wisdom, knowledge and insight
Though you wouldn't know it from the title, this is the fourth book in Robert E. Webber's excellent and highly acclaimed Ancient-Future series, one of the most significant contributions to the discussion of the relationship between postmodernism and Christianity. In light of that, emerging church leader Brian McLaren, an admitted fan of Webber's writing, considers THE DIVINE EMBRACE the author's "best and most important book to date." I fully agree, and given that his previous books were all good and important ... Read More
