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