Transforming Spirituality: Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Studies in Spirituality

In the 25 years of its existence, Studies in Spirituality has

been an attentive observer of the significant changes that have taken

place in the field of spirituality. During this period, research in

spirituality shifted not only towards the centre of theological

reflection, it has also responded to a culture that sought to go beyond

the boundaries of theology, on the one hand, and to the experience of

globalisation on the other. In this volume, Rossano Zas Friz De Col

S.l., Professor of Spirituality at the Institute of Spirituality of the

Pontifical Gregorian University (Rome), presents a list of thirty-one

articles previously published in Studies in Spirituality, which,

from his perspective, merit reprinting. The reader will find a

collection revolving around spiritual transformation as their center.

The reprinted articles are preceded by a reflection on twenty-five years

of Studies in Spirituality, in which professor Zas Friz decribes

how Studies in Spirituality brings spiritual transformation into

focus today, and how to understand that transformation in the present

globalized world.
