Students encounter the wisdom of the Desert Fathers, the discipline of the Benedictines, the poverty and zeal of the Franciscans and Dominicans, the contemplative traditions of Carmel, and the profound contributions of Christian mystics and spiritual masters. Through these diverse expressions of holiness, readers discover the many paths by which Christians have responded to God's invitation to sanctity.</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; line-height: 1.6;\">At its heart, Christian spirituality rests upon the mystery of the Incarnation. Because the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, the Christian life is not an escape from the world but a transformation of it through grace. By studying the Church's spiritual traditions, students gain a deeper understanding of man's relationship with God and learn practical principles for growing in holiness in their own lives.</p>\n<div

Christian Spirituality: A Historical Study of Prayer, Detachment, and Love of God

The Personal Response of the Christian to God

By Dr. Monica Miller · Published by TAN Books

Overview

Christianity is more than a set of doctrines—it is a personal response to the God who has revealed Himself through Jesus Christ. The Personal Response of the Christian to God explores the rich history of Christian spirituality and examines how generations of believers have sought holiness through prayer, sacrifice, community, and union with God.

Taught by theologian Dr. Monica Miller, this course surveys the development of Christian spirituality from the apostolic age through the great spiritual movements of Church history. Students encounter the wisdom of the Desert Fathers, the discipline of the Benedictines, the poverty and zeal of the Franciscans and Dominicans, the contemplative traditions of Carmel, and the profound contributions of Christian mystics and spiritual masters. Through these diverse expressions of holiness, readers discover the many paths by which Christians have responded to God's invitation to sanctity.

At its heart, Christian spirituality rests upon the mystery of the Incarnation. Because the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, the Christian life is not an escape from the world but a transformation of it through grace. By studying the Church's spiritual traditions, students gain a deeper understanding of man's relationship with God and learn practical principles for growing in holiness in their own lives.

What This Course Offers:

  • Survey of Christian Spirituality: Explore the major spiritual traditions that have shaped Catholic life throughout history.
  • Study of the Saints: Learn from the examples of holy men and women who pursued union with God.
  • Practical Formation: Discover timeless principles of prayer, detachment, virtue, and discipleship.
  • Structured Homeschool Curriculum: Includes streaming lectures and a comprehensive course guide.
  • Journey Through Church History: Follow the development of Christian spirituality from the apostles to the modern era.
  • Learn from Great Spiritual Traditions: Explore Benedictine, Franciscan, Dominican, Carmelite, and other approaches to holiness.
  • Understand Christian Prayer: Examine the role of prayer, contemplation, and worship in the spiritual life.
  • Discover the Universal Call to Holiness: Learn why sanctity is possible for every Christian.
  • Deepen Your Relationship with God: Apply the wisdom of the saints to your own spiritual journey.

From Sacred Scripture

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”
— John 1:14
