There was an error rendering this rich post.

Can anyone suggest some resources that track the progress of spiritual formation/holiness/sanctification (insert your own word).

For example, the order of salvation in Chrysostom, Augustine’s Confessions or Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercises

Including the Western church, Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox

Recognizing your exclusions, my favorites are a serious reading of Didache, and Clement of Alexandria (two stages, post-NT).

John Climacus

The books of Bernard McGinn will provide bibliographies to keep you busy for years.

What do you think of his Foundations of Mysticism series? Worth it's weight in gold?

Absolutely - he is the best contemporary scholar on the topic AND is quite readable.

Thanks. I have his first 7 volumes in his Foundation series. My goal is to read them in order. Little by little.

thanks, again. 😀
