Spiritual Thinking
The Fruitful Tension of Fundamental Theology and Spirituality
Fundamental theology is a dialogue project – as self-assurance for the Church and as an apologia to doubters, believers of other religions and non-believers. It is concerned with the disclosure of one`s own motives that allow the faith to be acceptable and understandable as a form of thought and life. But what do mysticism and spirituality – from Dionysius Areopagita to Master Eckhart, from Johann Arndt to Nelly Sachs and Jon Sobrino – contribute to the dialogue project on the reassurance of faith?
Edward Fröhling makes this spiritual path of longing for God, experiencing God`s closeness and His hiddenness, God`s friendship and the knowledge of God on the path of life fruitful for the rational effort of approaching the mystery of God.
- Confirmation of faith as a dialogue project
- Fascinating connection of rational confrontation and spiritual experience
- Inspiration for believers, seekers and doubters
