Reviews

With the contemporary interest in spirituality, it is imperative that the church establish a comprehensive theology of Christian spirituality that can inform the life and witness of Christian believers. This course presents such a theology of spirituality: a theology that is biblical, practical, and contemporary, accounting for and enabling spiritual formation and nurture in a post-modern, pluralistic, materialistic society. In addition, the course provides a theological foundation for a life of prayer that will empower and sustain the believer in life and ministry.

Study Guide
  1. Have a thorough understanding of the biblical and historical foundations of Christian spirituality.

  3. Understand the theology of spirituality adequately such that he or she is able to develop a practical model of spiritual formation within congregational life.
  4. Develop a model of spiritual life and discipline that has theological consistency but also practical application to one’s own life and witness.
  • The course covered a wide range of topics, probably a 360 degree coverage of everything that would be important for a Christian. It was good!
