Tomlin, G. (2006). Spiritual Fitness: Christian Character in a Consumer Society. New York: Continuum International Publishing Group.
The NT urges teh cultivation of certain qualities of life as the true indicator of Christian maturity. If these qualitoies are noticeable in a Christian's life he is effective and fruitful; if not, he is not effective or fruitful, however much he knows about theology or mraches for justice. 42
The God of the biblical story displays very different characteristics from teh Greek gods, or even gods of eastern faiths. He is not capricious but faithful, keeping his promises and covenants f4rom generation to generation. He is not a sea of placid detachment from teh world, but instead interacts with it.... Instead he is humble, lavishly creating a world in which he remains hidden, a world that is not full of signs demanding we pay Him attention and give Him His due. The qualities that mark him out are those of aptience, faithfulness, perseverence, kindness, goodness, self-control, humility, hoy, creativityand abaove all, love 83
'He who sees teh Church looks directly at Christ...' Gregory of Nyssa
Developing spiritual fitness will also require teaching that explicitly makes connections between Christian theology abd Christian virtue. 129
