About this title

Synopsis

Stephen Haskell was born in 1931, and lives in south-east London. He obtained first class honours in Classics and English from Cambridge University, and an MA in Christian Spirituality from Heythrop College. Most of his working life has been spent in teaching.

His first book, The Pursuit of Holiness, available from St Pauls Publishing, appeared in 2016 with an introduction by Rowan Williams, who wrote "This is a really unusual work of profound pastoral theology, coming out of a deep contemplative encounter with God in Christ...I have found it a treasure of wisdom and insight."

In the present work Haskell considers the main aspects of Christian spirituality. The book is addressed particularly to lay people, whom he thinks just as capable of reaching perfection as the great names of the past. But the way for them lies not through the time-honoured paths of prayer, but through a total dedication to charity.

The book is available from Amazon.
