Cultural Dimensions of Christian Spirituality CDCS

About

Post-graduate specialization course: The CDCS will help to improve the understanding of historical and modern cultural challenges for Christian spirituality with regards to single persons and in the context of Christian communities.

CDCS has the following module structure in each year:

1. Culture and biblical spirituality;
2. Early Christian spirituality as "inculturation";
3. The 21st century as a challange for spirituality;
4. Ritual dimensions of spirituality;
5. Comparative perspectives on spirituality;
6. Seminar: Anthropological methods applied;
7. Seminar: Studying biblical and historical source texts.

Questions of this sort will be addressed in an academic programme offered at the Monastic Institute (Pontifical Benedictine University Sant’Anselmo, Rome), in cooperation with members of the following institutions: Faculty of Philosophy, Theology & Religious Studies of Radboud University Nijmegen (NL), Liturgical Institute of the Catholic University Leuven and Titus Brandsma Instituut (NL).

Course leader

Prof. Matthias Skeb OSB

Target group

The programme is aimed at professionals in religious or social areas, students, scholars, clergy (ministers), members of religious communities, ect.

Course aim

In all the modules the different dimensions of Christian spirituality, and in particular Benedictine spirituality, will be examined in relation to their cultural context and other cultures. This implies an interdisciplinary and hermeneutical study of traditional resources (historical) and contemporary forms of spiritual life (anthropological).

The two year programme will help to improve the understanding of historical and modern cultural challenges for Christian spirituality with regards to single persons and in the context of monastic and non-monastic communities.

The programme has an ecumenical orientation. Members of all Christian denominations are welcome.
