Abstract

Some inveterate attitudes look with contempt to spirituality, reduce it to the sphere of popular religiosity, inscribe it in the field of metaphysics or refer it to inarticulate events of every day life. At the same time, a deep unrest persists, a search for the infinite, a thirst for happiness that find expression in manifold ways. Spirituality is life itself that flows and happens from God. This paper proposes a reflection on spirituality today, from a historical, anthropological and biblical perspective, and proposes new ideas about the relationship between spirituality and theology.
