'Spirituality' is a word that is used increasingly these days yet
it is often ill-defined. What exactly is spirituality? Is it
distinct from religion and can we separate it from beliefs and
traditions? Does spirituality mainly focus on spiritual experiences
and practices or is it something more? This book suggests that,
while there may be common features in the use of the word,
'spirituality' is not a single reality. Different 'spiritualities'
reflect particular religious or philosophical viewpoints, as well
as the cultural contexts in which they arise and develop.
"Spirituality: A Guide for the Perplexed" provides students and
general readers with a reliable and comprehensive guide to
'spirituality' as an area of study, religiously, historically,
philosophically and in the social sciences. It explores the tools
that are used to study the subject and to interpret spiritual
classics (whether these are written texts or other forms such as
art) from different times and cultures. Attention is paid to
spirituality in a variety of religious and non-religious forms in
their own terms and comparatively. However, for the sake of
simplicity greatest attention is given to the study of spirituality
within a religious perspective with illustrations drawn from texts,
personalities and themes associated with five major world
religions, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. The
book concludes with an exploration of spirituality in contemporary
perspective - in particular how spirituality is currently employed
in areas such as health-care, education and business among other
examples.
