The Divine Conspiracy

This work is practically an encyclical covering practically every major aspect of what is wrong with contemporary Christian practice as well as offering inspired understanding of how the Christianity should be practiced and taught. He demonstrates a deep grasp of classical and contemporary philosophy and logic, psychology, church history, along with thorough biblical and theological knowledge, of both his evangelical bent and other persuasion and traditions. Willard's depth of spirituality exceeds most religious educators I have read and can be compared with others considered greats in that field. I would venture to say it is already a classic for anyone serious about spiritual formation, discipleship, and theological training. As a pastor and religious educator of over thirty years, I place this work at the top of my favorites.

Highly recommended; will read and study it again.

While being less that two decades old, TDC will no doubt be destined a classic for many years to come. Willard uses deep thought, insightful analogy and anecdote to take the readers back to the heart of the gospel, Christ, and what it means to truly walk in faith. Although it seems like a long work by contemporary standards, it is well worth the investment in the rich pages.
