Thomas C Oden Books
Thomas C. Oden was a distinguished Professor of Theology and Ethics at Drew University. His scholarly contributions primarily explored theological and ethical concepts, with a significant focus on the interpretation of early Christian writings. He served as the general editor for major series dedicated to ancient Christian commentary and doctrine, solidifying his legacy through extensive textual analysis and synthesis.


Focusing on the spiritual journey, this collection of meditations guides readers through moments of reflection aimed at connecting the soul with the eternal within everyday life. Tom Oden utilizes an ancient structure of daily meditative 'hours,' which correspond to the cycles of light and darkness, to enhance the practice of prayer. By dedicating even a minute to prayer seven times a day, readers can transform their entire daily experience into a sanctified ritual.
