Exploring diverse Protestant spiritual traditions, this two-volume set presents essays from scholars representing various denominations. Each of the twelve essays highlights influential figures, from Martin Luther to Martin Luther King Jr., and delves into topics like the theology of the cross and the importance of physical fitness. A concluding essay examines the broader impact of Protestant contributions on Christian spirituality and Western culture, particularly through the lens of the body. This collection offers a rich tapestry of insights into Protestant spirituality.
