Spirituality

Examine the Christian religious experience in the context of ancient, medieval, and contemporary understandings of spirituality.

Overview

Interested in perennial questions of religion and theology? The concentration in Spirituality examines the Christian religious experience in the context of ancient, medieval, and contemporary understandings of spirituality, and by integrating biblical, historical, and theological studies. In partnership with the Center for Islamic Studies, Center for Jewish Studies and Institute of Buddhist Studies, a comparative dimension can be added, allowing one to consider Christian spirituality in conversation with non-Christian traditions.
