Foundations and Forms of Christian Spirituality (2025)

An introduction to the roots and types of spirituality in the Christian tradition up to the late Medieval period. The course also will explore a number of spiritual traditions within Christianity to place them in their historical and philosophical contexts.

The focus is on the Greek roots of Christian spirituality, as well as monastic, Celtic, and Orthodox spiritualities.

We will discuss issues of interpretation with classical spiritual texts and explore different ways of interpreting and applying ideas in our reading of these texts.
