Hands Conformed to the Heart: Studies in Spiritual Theology
£12.95
Hands Conformed to the Heart focuses on how God can transform people from within. It's approach is experiential rather than theoretical, and concerned with holiness rather than mere knowledge. It is rooted in Scipture, tradition, and the need for the loving sentiments of the heart to find practical expression in actions. As St Vincent de Paul wrote, 'Sentiments of love of God, of kindness, of good will, praiseworthy as these may be, are often suspect if the do not result in good deeds.'

Spiritual Theology, also known as ascetical and mystical theology, refers to disciplined spiritual practice aimed at attaining holiness. It studies the supernatural life, guiding believers from initial faith to perfection through growth, grace, and lived experience. It emphasises practical application over abstract theory, focusing on inner transformation and closeness to God.
Pope Francis highlights the importance of connecting ideas with real life. Rooted in Scripture and doctrine, spiritual theology ultimately expresses itself through ethical living, love, and faithful Christian practice in everyday life.
