• Sommario/riassunto: In this book, Fr Jonathan Robinson examines the nature of the Catholic tradition and its teachings about personal prayer. He develops an understanding of tradition that integrates the call to holiness with the need for truth, and shows that a living tradition of prayer is nourished by the objective content of the faith.
