Abstract
ABSTRACTFocusing on the modern concept of spirituality, this article analyzes the various strategies available for giving power and potency to inherited forms of Christian language and practice. The first part of the paper discusses modern spirituality and shows how it appeals to anxoutside of Christian language and practice to infuse it with spiritual potency. The second section investigates the motive for this modern strategy, illustrating the ways in which inherited forms of Christianity have become mute and ineffective. Anglo-Catholic and Evangelical alternatives are briefly canvased and set aside. With a discussion of Origen, the article ends by commending a spiritual practice that both takes seriously the weaknesses and impediments to faith and at the same time rejects the strategies of modern spirituality.
