This course surveys important spiritual movements, the rich diversity of spiritual insight that has marked the history of Christianity starting from the early Desert Fathers, the founding of the great religious orders, Christian mysticism, 19th and 20th century Catholic spiritual contributions, and more. In taking a look at the history of Christian spirituality in this way, one ultimately comes to a deeper understanding of man’s proper relation to God, and how he ought to respond to God’s love.\u003cbr \u002f\u003e\u003cbr \u002f\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Uniqueness of Christian Spirituality\u003c\u002fstrong\u003e\u003cbr \u002f\u003e\u003cbr \u002f\u003eThe primary truth of Christian spirituality is that God entered his world personally—as John’s Gospel, chapter 1: 14 states: “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” God crowns creation with his personal, physical presence, pouring himself out in a new covenant whereby he has forever united himself to the human race. In the Incarnation of the Word, the Catholic focus on the material world is vindicated against all those ancient and modern pessimisms that seek to denigrate the dignity of man on one side, or remove God from the world of men on the other. It is only Christian spirituality that safeguards the truth about man and God, since together they are united in a freedom of grace by which the world is saved.\u003cbr \u002f\u003e\u003cbr \u002f\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe History of Christian Spirituality\u003c\u002fstrong\u003e\u003cbr \u002f\u003e\u003cbr \u002f\u003eA study of the history of Christian spirituality reveals that the Christian quest for holiness and perfection is marked by certain principles and characteristics. The early Christians, unlike Christians of today, did not accommodate the faith to the age. The early Christians converted out of a culture and they lived in contrast to it. The life of the earliest Christians was liturgical, especially in the sense that, as today, it centered on the Eucharist—the public worship of the Church, done in obedience to Christ’s command to the Apostles at the Last Supper: “Do this in remembrance of me.” The social dimension of Christian life is seen in the earliest Christians, who lived in community. According to the Acts of the Apostles, Christians held all their possessions in common and distributed “to everyone according to his need” (Acts 4:35).\u003cbr \u002f\u003e\u003cbr \u002f\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Path for Everyone\u003c\u002fstrong\u003e\u003cbr \u002f\u003e\u003cbr \u002f\u003ePerhaps the greatest truth about the achievement of Christian holiness is that it is open to all who wish to travel its path. It is not reserved for the few, but is meant for the many. One of the greatest voices in the history of Christian spirituality, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, believed that man’s own free will was the key to the Christian life and thus perhaps we should take his words to heart: “No one can be perfect who does not desire to be more perfect, and he shows himself to be more perfect in the measure that he aspires to be more perfect.”\u003c\u002fdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\u002fdiv\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLectures\u003c\u002fstrong\u003e\u003c\u002fp\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Bond Between God and Man\u003c\u002fli\u003e \u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eJourneying Back to God\u003c\u002fli\u003e \u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eLearning Detachment\u003c\u002fli\u003e \u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eLearning from the Benedictine Tradition\u003c\u002fli\u003e \u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eLearning from the Franciscan Tradition\u003c\u002fli\u003e \u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eLearning to Pray\u003c\u002fli\u003e \u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eLearning from the Carmelites\u003c\u002fli\u003e \u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eTrue Christian Piety\u003c\u002fli\u003e \u003c\u002fol\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLecture Sample\u003c\u002fstrong\u003e\u003c\u002fp\u003e \u003cscript src=\"https:\u002f\u002ffast.wistia.com\u002fembed\u002fmedias\u002f88ltu6pqq6.jsonp\" async=\"\"\u003e\u003c\u002fscript\u003e \u003cscript src=\"https:\u002f\u002ffast.wistia.com\u002fassets\u002fexternal\u002fE-v1.js\" async=\"\"\u003e\u003c\u002fscript\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0; position: relative;\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%;\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"wistia_embed wistia_async_88ltu6pqq6 seo=false videoFoam=true\" style=\"height: 100%; position: relative; width: 100%;\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"wistia_swatch\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; opacity: 0; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0; transition: opacity 200ms; width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"filter: blur(5px); height: 100%; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\u002f\u002ffast.wistia.com\u002fembed\u002fmedias\u002f88ltu6pqq6\u002fswatch\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" \u002f\u003e\u003c\u002fdiv\u003e \u003c\u002fdiv\u003e \u003c\u002fdiv\u003e \u003c\u002fdiv\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\u002fp\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeet Your Professor\u003c\u002fstrong\u003e\u003c\u002fp\u003e \u003cp\u003eProfessor Monica Miller holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Theatre from Southern Illinois\u003cbr \u002f\u003eUniversity, a Master’s Degree in Theology from Loyola University in Chicago and has earned her doctorate in Theology from Marquette University in Milwaukee.

In addition to the doctrinal and theological history of the Catholic faith, it is essential that we add the history of Christian spirituality - namely, the very way that Christians have made their personal response to the God who reveals Himself to His people through Jesus Christ. This course surveys important spiritual movements, the rich diversity of spiritual insight that has marked the history of Christianity starting from the early Desert Fathers, the founding of the great religious orders, Christian mysticism, 19th and 20th century Catholic spiritual contributions, and more. In taking a look at the history of Christian spirituality in this way, one ultimately comes to a deeper understanding of man’s proper relation to God, and how he ought to respond to God’s love.
The Uniqueness of Christian Spirituality
The primary truth of Christian spirituality is that God entered his world personally—as John’s Gospel, chapter 1: 14 states: “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” God crowns creation with his personal, physical presence, pouring himself out in a new covenant whereby he has forever united himself to the human race. In the Incarnation of the Word, the Catholic focus on the material world is vindicated against all those ancient and modern pessimisms that seek to denigrate the dignity of man on one side, or remove God from the world of men on the other. It is only Christian spirituality that safeguards the truth about man and God, since together they are united in a freedom of grace by which the world is saved.
The History of Christian Spirituality
A study of the history of Christian spirituality reveals that the Christian quest for holiness and perfection is marked by certain principles and characteristics. The early Christians, unlike Christians of today, did not accommodate the faith to the age. The early Christians converted out of a culture and they lived in contrast to it. The life of the earliest Christians was liturgical, especially in the sense that, as today, it centered on the Eucharist—the public worship of the Church, done in obedience to Christ’s command to the Apostles at the Last Supper: “Do this in remembrance of me.” The social dimension of Christian life is seen in the earliest Christians, who lived in community. According to the Acts of the Apostles, Christians held all their possessions in common and distributed “to everyone according to his need” (Acts 4:35).
A Path for Everyone
Perhaps the greatest truth about the achievement of Christian holiness is that it is open to all who wish to travel its path. It is not reserved for the few, but is meant for the many. One of the greatest voices in the history of Christian spirituality, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, believed that man’s own free will was the key to the Christian life and thus perhaps we should take his words to heart: “No one can be perfect who does not desire to be more perfect, and he shows himself to be more perfect in the measure that he aspires to be more perfect.”
