Summary:This essay honors the legacy of Mark McIntosh. Mark was passionate about the unity between theology and spirituality. In his scholarship and teaching, Mark focused on the unified endeavors of speaking about God and living in vital relationship with God. Rooted in the biblical and patristic traditions, Mark’s work reinforced the notion that “a theologian is one who prays.” Addressing the problem of the division between theology and spirituality, Mark utilized the work of Hans Urs von Balthasar, Vladimir Lossky, and others to propose constructive solutions. Mark’s work will continue to inspire theologians to labor for theology that expresses an inner experience of the truth.
