Images of Pilgrimage:
Paradise and Wilderness in Christian Spirituality

Darton, Longman & Todd, 2023. 96 pages.

Images of Pilgrimage is a set of addresses given by Crouse for a clergy retreat in Nova Scotia, Canada in the 1980s. It provides a theologically rich and yet deeply literary account of the Christian life understood as pilgrimage. It moves Chronologically from the way pilgrimage figures in ancient pagan sources, to the Bible, and then as the animation theme in theological tradition from Augustin to Dante. Pilgrimage is shown to be central to what constitutes a Christian life, indeed a human life universally conceived, and to the whole work of the church as revealing through time the nature of our shared humanity.

The Soul’s Pilgrimage
Vol. 2: The Descent of the Dove and the Spiritual Life

Darton, Longman & Todd, 2024. 304 pages.

For Christians of all denominations, the second volume of sermons of Robert Crouse sets before us a sure pilgrimage into sanctification (holiness of life) amid the spiritual confusions of the 21st century. In the sermons of Vol I, we learned what Christ has done for us. In these sermons we learn how to allow Christ to live in and through us as we enjoy the riches of both the second half of the Temporale (the Sundays of Pentecost/Trinity season) and the Sanctorale (the feasts of the saints).
