With Wisdom Seeking God
The Academic Study of Spirituality
Edited by U. Agnew Edited by B. Flanagan Edited by G. Heylin
The distinctiveness of this volume is its European texture derived from papers delivered at the first European Spirituality Conference held at Milltown Institute, Dublin, Ireland in June 2004. Its aim is to extend the horizons of understanding of the discipline of Spirituality as it is being mapped by some of the most experienced voices in the field. The idea for the conference drew inspiration from the work of the US founded Society for the Study of Christian Spirituality, whose recent President, Dr Stephanie Paulsell, delivered the keynote address. Among the features of this three-part publication is an exploration of methodologies for the study of Christian spirituality, interdisciplinary conversations with scholars from varied fields of scholarship and topics which demonstrate how Spirituality is applied in a variety of situations and locations. Along with the well-known voices of Philip Sheldrake, Kees Waaijman, Dominique Salin SJ and Leif Gunner Engedal, a number of prominent Irish voices in the field of spirituality are given an international forum for the first time.
