Six Christian traditions, considered through practice

Richard J. Foster organizes Christian spirituality around six enduring traditions, treating them as complementary dimensions of faith rather than a single prescribed path. The book connects personal disciplines such as study and retreat with outward-facing commitments to service and community, framing both as part of spiritual growth and maturity. Alongside its examination of each tradition’s distinctive contribution, it uses examples from the lives of faithful people to illustrate how these streams have been embodied. This revised edition offers a broad framework for considering renewal within Christian practice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Christians exploring spiritual disciplines and personal formation
  • Readers interested in the diversity of Christian spiritual traditions
  • Small groups or individuals reflecting on service, community, study, and retreat

Book overview

The author of the bestselling celebration of discipline explores the great traditions of Christian spirituality and their role in spiritual renewal today.

In this landmark work, Foster examines the "streams of living water" -- the six dimensions of faith and practice that define Christian tradition. He lifts up the enduring character of each tradition and shows how a variety of practices, from individual study and retreat to disciplines of service and community, are all essential elements of growth and maturity. Foster examines the unique contributions of each of these traditions and offers as examples the inspiring stories of faithful people whose lives defined each of these "streams."
