The spirit that moves. A new society and its first publication

Abstract

From text: As will become evident in this journal (cf. contributions of Kees Waaijman and Celia Kourie), the academic study of spirituality at institutions of advanced learning, is a major new development in the field of theology and religion, although writings about and the practice of spirituality are part of the oldest traditions in the history of Christianity. In addition, it is something that is found across boundaries of faith and denominations. In fact, it is studied and practised in secular, non-religious contexts.
