EARLY CHRISTIAN CLASSICS

To the modern reader the appeal of these books lies in

seeing the individual struggling with the demands of trying

to live a good life. attempting to reach their own understanding of Christ's message and their own comprehension

of the divine, rather than simply relying on received  spiritual wisdom.

Instead of regarding the individualism of these writers as heresy or unorthodoxy, we can understand that they were merely aiming to reach a more complete and authentic understanding of their spirituality.

There is also a great deal  of beauty in titles such as Dark Night of the Soul, while The Pilgrim's Progress has been a hugely influential work of literature over the subsequent centuries. The above mentioned work has sold so many copies that it is second only to the Bible itself. Beyond their spiritual message, these books are a reminder of the enormous contribution that spiritual understanding that has made to the cultural and intellectual development of the modern world.

Other early Christian Classics are very indicative of individual theological exploration and spiritual development like City of God and The Cloud of Unknowing.

This brief essay is to alert you to a mere few titles of much-needed and notable works of spiritual growth and dimension available today.
