A Different Touch: A Study of Vows in Religious Life

"A Different Touch" speaks of the challenges of religious life today where the essentials of Christian living and union with God are still sought via a "different touch". The book looks at the relationship of Christian lifestyle and the place of religious life in the matrix of Christian living, and then comments individually on the traditional vows of religious life. A section on "new times" for poverty, obedience, and celibacy relates each vow to current cultural and socio-political issues .
