In a cinematic culture where multiple visions of reality "e;play"e; at the same time, it is critical that Christian believers know how to confidently identify and "e;discern,"e; among other stories, the Jesus-story that defines their most important commitment in life. Using the optical metaphor of the "e;eye of faith,"e; the author identifies the spiritual life as a "e;visual life."e; Through themes such as "e;looking through Jesus' eyes,"e; the bible as a "e;visionary text,"e; and the church as a "e;wide-eyed people,"e; he builds a connecting bridge between the seeing-soul in Christian spirituality, and the twenty-first century as the "e;age of the eye."e; The key words for this exploration are spirituality, discipleship, insight, luminescence, and optical "e;therapy."e; The author proposes the need for a "e;catechism of the eye"e; that will lead to the renewal of Christian ministry, spirituality, discipleship, and identity.
