Subversive Spirituality links the practice and study of Christian
spirituality with Christian mission. It develops a twofold thesis:
grace, spiritual disciplines, and mission practices are inseparably
linked in the mission of Jesus, of the early church, and of several
historical renewal movements, as well as in a contemporary field
research sample; and amidst the collapse of space and time
evidenced by our culture's increasingly hurried pace of life, more
time and space are needed for regular solitary and communal
spiritual practices in church, mission, and leadership structures
if Christian mission is to transform people and culture in our
time. This requires a subversion of the collapsed spatial and
temporal codes that have infected our Christian institutions.
Jensen employs methods and approaches from a variety of academic
disciplines to explore both spirituality in terms of space and time
and mission in terms of deed and word. Specifically, Jensen
examines the spirituality and mission of Jesus, the early church,
the apostolic fathers, Origen, the Devotio Moderna, the early
Jesuits, David Brainerd, and several women in 19th century
Protestant missions. He considers the spirituality and mission that
have arisen within the postmodern generations born after 1960.
Based on the theological, historical, cultural, and field analyses
of this study, a model for spirituality and mission is proposed.
The model addresses the contemporary collapse of space and time and
appears to have widespread applicability to diverse cultures and
eras. Jensen's model is applied to the pluralistic and postmodern
milieu of North America with recommendations for spirituality and
mission in church, mission, and educational structures. A
derivative model for teaching and practicing spirituality and
mission in the academy, which also has application for non-formal
leadership development structures, is also proposed.
