Abstract
Chapter 32 discusses the different ecclesial communities within Asian Christianity that have preserved their own distinct spiritual traditions. In its narrowest sense, spirituality refers to the religious way of life by which one enters into communion with the transcendent reality however this is interpreted and named. It may also refer to a particular way of living out one’s relationship with this transcendent reality, through specific beliefs, rituals, prayers, moral behaviors, and community participation. The chapter begins with reflections on spirituality as human self-transcendence in the Spirit, followed by a discussion of the major features of Asian Christian spirituality. An unusual dimension of Asian Christian spirituality—its interreligious nature—is then discussed, together with the contributions of representative theologians from different Christian traditions to Asian Christian spirituality.
