Why study Christian Spirituality?
This master’s is designed to offer you the opportunity to study this field in some depth, from historical, theological, psychological and other points of view. The course examines different understandings of how Christians seek to relate to God, the underlying theology and the particular practices or lifestyles that express these understandings.
The search for ‘spirituality’ is one of the most striking aspects of our contemporary Western cultures.
