Course Summary

Join a lively debate on the meaning and the role of spirituality, in Christian traditions as well as in today’s multicultural and multi-religious world. This Masters course is taught by Cambridge Theological Federation, and accredited by ARU.

On this course, you'll be supported to:

  • progress in critical understanding and knowledge of aspects of the Christian spiritual traditions
  • explore and evaluate contemporary manifestations of Christian spiritual belief and practice
  • develop a critical understanding of the human condition as it shapes different approaches to Christian spirituality
  • relate the discourse of spirituality to a wide range of contemporary personal, professional and vocational questions
  • undertake a detailed exploration of some issues of significance in the contemporary context.

Modules

This module aims to introduce students to some of the major figures and themes in Christian spirituality (from the spirituality of the Early Church, to early monastic expressions, the Late Middle Ages, the early modernity of 19th century, to the present day). The approach is twofold: a) to consider the socio-historic and theological context in which they appeared and developed; b) to create awareness of the plurality of expression in Christian spirituality over time, but also of the elements of continuity, both in the practice and the theology that underpins it.
