on the Study of Christian Spirituality
The academic study of Christian spirituality
is a hotbed of interdisciplinarity. Many
potential emerging scholars come from programs and disciplines outside
of religion departments and, more pointedly, outside those few programs
which provide training in the specific methodologies and discourse of
this field. The titles listed below represent my best effort to collect
materials to help such students get oriented to the discourse of this
field.

Douglas Burton-Christie

Christian Spirituality (Routledge,
2007)
- Elizabeth A. Dreyer and Mark S. Burrows, eds. Minding
the Spirit: The Study of Christian Spirituality (Johns Hopkins UP, 2004)
- Bruce H. Lescher and
Elizabeth Liebert, eds., Exploring

These items are listed in no particular
order. I would appreciate input (email
me) from some emerged scholars on which of these titles are most
useful for which purposes so that I can organize and annotate this page.
