Spiritualitás a vallásfenomenológia és pasztorálpszichológia horizontján. (Hungarian)

Spirituality at the Horizon of Religious Phenomenology and Pastoral Psychology. (English)

We are living in a designer world, where not only the circumstances but our gods will be created consciously. We hunger for a God. Choosing an inadequate god, a god too small to transcend our limitations and who therefore can neither save nor transform us, drives us to keep hunting. This study reviews the phenomenology of Christian spirituality, religious practice and places special emphasis on these areas. We can find a correlation between spirituality and spiritual well-being and happiness, factors which contribute to a positive personal development. We are condemned to meaning. There is a universal impulse to assign meaning to our joys and sorrows. Christian spirituality is a condition for us to reframe and understand our life perspectives and reach the "Courage to be" (Tillich). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
