OPEN TO THE WORLD : An Analysis of Lay Spirituality
Auer, Alfons (Trans. Dennis Doherty and Carmel Callaghan)
Helicon, 1966
337 pages

Auer has written one of the few books on lay spirituality appropriate for a secular milieu. He writes: “Our chief concern is to show that man and the world are intelligible not in themselves but only insofar as they are seen to be intimately bound up with the mysteries of creation and salvation.” He begins with a historical review of lay spirituality, followed by a theological basis for a lay spirituality today. Auer concludes with practical applications for technology, marriage and politics.
