Using the optical metaphor of the \"eye of faith,\" the author identifies the spiritual life as a \"visual life.\" Through themes such as \"looking through Jesus' eyes,\" the bible as a \"visionary text,\" and the church as a \"wide-eyed people,\" he builds a connecting bridge between the seeing-soul in Christian spirituality, and the twenty-first century as the \"age of the eye.\" The key words for this exploration are spirituality, discipleship, insight, luminescence, and optical \"therapy.\" The author proposes the need for a \"catechism of the eye\" that will lead to the renewal of Christian ministry, spirituality, discipleship, and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStuart C.
