Since I’ve written elsewhere (see link below) about my main concern over what Smith has to say about liturgy, let me add that Imagining the Kingdom has many brilliant insights.  And ones I largely agree with. 

Smith does a better job clarifying his thesis in this book than he did in Desiring the Kingdom.  I remain disappointed that he does not address the formative role that mindfully engaged (mindfully is crucial here) meditation on Scripture has for spiritual health.
