Pastoral life, prayer and slow discipleship are the recurring concerns of Eugene Peterson’s Christian writing. A Long Obedience in the Same Direction uses the Songs of Ascents to describe faith as sustained practice rather than quick spiritual success, while Working the Angles addresses pastors through prayer, Scripture and spiritual direction. The Pastor is a memoir of ministry and vocation, and Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places begins a theological series on everyday Christian formation. Peterson also produced The Message, a highly idiomatic rendering of the Bible intended to make familiar passages sound fresh in contemporary English. His prose is reflective, literary and sceptical of religious hurry or marketing. The catalogue connects most clearly with pastoral ministry, spiritual formation, biblical reflection and Christian memoir. Read more Less
