Beloved Dust by Rev Robert Davis Hughes Iii
Takes a contemporary view of human being as physical(dust) and then shows it immersed in three great tides of the 'Holy Spirit', the traditional threefold rhythm of conversion, transfiguration, and glory.
Hughes provides a constructive account of Protestant spiritual theology developed in the wake of Catholic spiritual theology (prior to Vatican II), systematic theology, scientific research, and psychodynamic theories..This account builds upon insights developed in his first section which offers an erudite and expansive overview of spiritual theology, resources for constructive work, and the overarching methodology of Hughe's own attempt. * Theological Book Review, Vol. 21, 2009 *
This is a substantial and truly remarkable work, the fruit of an immense range of knowledge. * The Church Times *
It is impossible not to be impressed by Hughes wide reading, especially of modern Catholic theology, and he makes good use of what he has read. * Church of England Newspaper *
This unassuming (but fat) paperback is one of the most satisfying and significant theological studies of our time - and one of the most ambitious. * The Sign *
Robert Hughes expresses his hope of producing a constructive approach to a refounded spiritual theology, which he seems to have achieved in an unusual and intriguing way. * The Methodist Recorder *
