Until Christ is Formed in You

by Steven L. Porter, Gary W. Moon, J. P. Moreland

Overview

Because Transformation Is Possible.

At a popular level, Dallas Willard wrote with remarkable clarity about spiritual formation. But his writings also addressed academic concerns such as shifts in modern moral philosophy, the nature of education, and the psychology of the human self. Until Christ Is Formed in You brings together ten authors who knew Willard well to introduce his wide-ranging vision and consider again the overall significance of this one-of-a-kind teacher.

This collection explores topics including the Beatitudes, the relationship of body and soul, the kingdom of God, discipleship to Jesus, the nature of formation, and Ignatian spirituality. The book begins with a comprehensive overview of Willard's understanding of formation, and it concludes with practical applications of this understanding to the disciplines of psychology and counseling.

Editorial Reviews

Dallas Willard combined intellectual rigor with a deep commitment to spiritual growth in a way that is rare among recent Christian writers and thinkers. Until Christ Is Formed in You is more than a tribute to Willard; it is a demonstration of the continued power and relevance of his work. The intellectual rigor of these essays pushes all of us to become the persons God intends us to be.

Until Christ Is Formed in You - Diane J. Chandler

Dallas left us a rich legacy in his writings and in his students. Through the lens of their own experience and training, these scholars, whom Dallas identified as his fellow pilgrims, beautifully illuminate and respectfully critique Dallas's thoughts on complex themes of discipleship and personal transformation. As we seek to broaden the impact of Dallas's teaching, this academic treatment of his work is a great gift.
