<p>Written for seminary students and religious professionals, Streeter treats spirituality as a field of study. She investigates spiritual experience in an interdisciplinary way, attentive to the human person in a way that has often been neglected in the past. Her premise is that every person is called to holiness. Holiness comes through the relationship of the human with the Divine, relating through physical, psychic, and spiritual responses. Streeter's study is both explanatory and descriptive, an exploration into how the Divine interacts with the human in the process of soul-making. She begins with the human, exploring the human as organism, psyche, and spirit and establishing an anthropological framework for grounding religious experience in human consciousness. Streeter then turns her attention to how the Divine has been perceived throughout history, the Divine in relation with the human as Christ Jesus, and both the functionality of grace and its theological virtue.</p>

Foundations Of Spirituality: The Human And The Holy

The seasons of the soul are the seasons of the church year. They are our seasons. Time itself with its seasons becomes a means of remembrance. With poetry, prose, imagery, and all the passion of a woman in love, Carla Mae Streeter takes readers through the liturgical seasons on a spiritual pilgrimage that is filled with the love of an intimate God. Every season becomes an awakening, revealing our awe, our excitement, and our comfort in knowing that our beloved God is our companion and our life partner. Since before the current calendar had been accepted, the church has used time to remember her Beloved. The seasons of nature set the stage for the liturgical seasons. Spring with its newness and beauty recalls the blush of the church’s own discovery and exuberant joy. Summer celebrates her fruitfulness and the rich variety of gifts in her household. Autumn with its muted beauty brings a harvest of ripe fruit, even as living things begin to fade away and sleep. Winter in its dull days and frozen beauty recalls the tomb, the waiting, and heaviness of death’s sleep. As we journey through the rituals of the liturgical seasons, they become the fountainhead of our own lives: from our longings in Advent through the light of Christmastide, the discovery of Epiphany, the housecleaning of Lent, the promise of Eastertide, and the mystery of the Post-Paschal Feasts, to the nurturing and harvesting in Ordinary Time of all that we have sown. Seasons of the Soul guides us through this journey and into a deep and intimate relationship with God.
