Item Description

The Four-Gosepl Journey as a Guide for the Spiritual Life.  This audio course from Now You Know Media and featuring Dr. Alexander J. Shaia consists of 18 sessions, 25 minutes each, on 6 CDs. 

Dr. Shaia explores The Journey of "Quadratos," a new name for the ancient, four-fold journey of spirit and transformation.  The journey is universal, sequential, and cyclical. It is recognized by every major religious faith and school of psychology and forms the very heart of Christian belief and practice.  At its most universal, the pattern of Quadratos is found in our experience of the four seasons and their cycle.  Within Christianity, Quadratos provides a deeper understanding of Jesus the Christ and a new foundation for affirming early Christianity's choice of four gospels and the ancient - now restored - gospel reading sequence for Sunday worship.  Dr. Shaia also explores the four-fold pattern as found in writings and practices such as walking the Labyrinth, the Ignatian Exercises, the Interior Castle, and more.

The course also includes in-depth reflection on the four great questions of the spiritual life:  How do we face change?  How do we move through suffering?  How do we receive joy?  How do we mature in service?

Item Special Note

From the Now You Know Media Website:

The gospels provide a profound path for spiritual growth.

Through this course, explore a powerful four-fold ancient pattern found throughout life, Christian worship and many revered spiritual exercises. This pattern appears to underlie the choice of four gospels and their sequencing into the three-year Sunday reading cycles. The four gospels, when read through this lens, move beyond being separate accounts of Jesus to become a seamless spiritual guide for daily life.

In this course, the words of scripture that we know so well come alive in fresh and enriching ways. Each gospel is explored as the answer to one of life’s four great questions, matched to the particular spiritual dilemma of the early Christian community for which that gospel was originally written.
