Reclaiming Men's Spirituality
Reclaiming Men’s Spirituality is a study that investigates men’s spirituality by exploring three research questions: Can a form of spirituality about men be identified and described, how can this spirituality be examined, and what is it that needs to be reclaimed? To answer these questions and at the same time remain committed to the importance of lived experience, this study opted to investigate the lives of men by attending to ten spiritual histories. The study is situated in Malta, and the ten spiritual histories provide access to various features, expressions, and contours that relate closely to men’s being. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with ten spiritual director...
A Journey to the High Places
Since his existence the human being has explored various ways in his quest for God. Part of this search is related to humanity's yearning for true harmony and joy in the world. Christian spirituality, as a unique spirituality one encounters today, imparts various ways one can respond to this longing. One of these ways is through allegorical narratives. Specifically, this study analyzes the spirituality of Hannah Hurnard (1905-1990) by intertextually perusing her most famous allegorical narrative Hinds' Feet on High Places. A Journey to the High Places is divided into four chapters. In chapter 1 the allegorical narrative is subjectively considered in all its aspects and the central themes are...
Seeing and Believing
In a cinematic culture where multiple visions of reality "play" at the same time, it is critical that Christian believers know how to confidently identify and "discern," among other stories, the Jesus-story that defines their most important commitment in life. Using the optical metaphor of the "eye of faith," the author identifies the spiritual life as a "visual life." Through themes such as "looking through Jesus' eyes," the bible as a "visionary text," and the church as a "wide-eyed people," he builds a connecting bridge between the seeing-soul in Christian spirituality, and the twenty-first century as the "age of the eye." The key words for this exploration are spirituality, discipleship, insight, luminescence, and optical "therapy." The author proposes the need for a "catechism of the eye" that will lead to the renewal of Christian ministry, spirituality, discipleship, and identity.
Che fai qui, Elia?
Il Signore stava passando. Davanti a lui un vento fortissimo spaccava le montagne e fracassava le rocce, ma il Signore non era nel vento. Dopo il vento venne il terremoto, ma il Signore non era nel terremoto. Dopo il terremoto venne il fuoco, ma il Signore non era neppure nel fuoco. Dopo il fuoco, Elia udì come un lieve sussurro. Si coprì la faccia col mantello, uscì sull'apertura della grotta e udì una voce che gli diceva: «Che fai qui, Elia?» (1Re 19, 11-13) Una ri-lettura interconfessionale della teofania di Elia sull’Oreb per scandagliare il testo sacro al fine di coglierne gli aspetti più reconditi. Anche a noi, come ad Elia, viene rivolta la domanda: «Che fai qui?» Sul limitare della grotta – luogo simbolico di quella condizione spaziale in cui può avvenire la rinascita – quale sarà la nostra risposta?
