Denver, Colorado, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 12, 2012 -- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Spirit, Time, and The Future: An Inclusive Transpersonal and Theological Inquiry Into The Spirit For Our Times by Rev. Peter E. Lanzillotta, Ph.D. The author's most recent book to date is a 6 x 9 paperback in the religion and spirituality category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/SpiritTimeandTheFuture was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.

Are we at the dawn of a new era, or are we already in The Age of The Spirit, but have not consciously acknowledged it yet?

While a new Millenia has begun, our awareness of its possibilities and potentials lags far behind. There are signs of the old consciousness breaking up as there are observable cultural cracks and fissures of ferment and disillusionment that declare that the old ways of thinking, relating and believing no longer work for us, nor any longer inspire us towards needed growth and necessary transformation. Our cultural fears and modern uncertainty can be reinforced by our religious outlooks. If our faith stance seeks to preserve control, then it will also vehemently resist all the cultural changes that are necessary to encourage the ecological and ethical renewal our planet and our society needs.

It is Spirit-centered change that creates our cultural renewal, and it is the understanding of an expansive and inclusive Holy Spirit that will guide and deepen our personal and social transformation.

Spirit, Time, and The Future draws widely from a multitude of sources: from theology (pneumatology) to contemporary Biblical studies, from scientific explorations to metaphysical theories. The scope is intentionally broad to enable readers to gain a wider understanding and to develop a deeper sense of hope. Lanzillotta seeks to ground us in a greater awareness through a more openhearted outlook. He outlines expansive religious possibilities by drawing from both traditional and dissenting theological ideas such as feminist Biblical criticism and Jungian psychology, allowing the reader to gain access to his thinking from many viewpoints.

The author’s outlook challenges many areas of our cultural mindset and will certainly differ from the status quo in religion today, but his personal insights come from over twenty five years of metaphysical and theological study. From his ideas, and his more expansive viewpoint, we can develop our greater awareness of how Spirit functions in our larger society and how Her presence operates in our lives.

173 pages in length, Spirit, Time, and The Future: An Inclusive Transpersonal and Theological Inquiry Into The Spirit For Our Times is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the religion and spirituality category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Spirit, Time, and The Future meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $15.95.
