다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It has been a quarter of century since the world began to take interest in Spirituality and yet, the debates on the definition of Spirituality and its methodology are still continuing. However, in general the literature agrees on the definition given by Principe and Schneiders. Also, the research results on the methodology are becoming ever more concrete. Nevertheless, as Spirituality is one outcome of socio-cultural phenomenon like post-modernism, there is a difficulty in labelling it as a specialized literature of its own right. Given the context, this dissertation looks to provide an answer that meets the demand of the current generation on Christian Spirituality.
So, why discuss Spirituality in times like now? The answer to this question can be found in the inner directivity that Spirituality pursues and the motives behind the occurrence of Spirituality. Spirituality began from the discovery of the subject from the object and the discovery of a from from the outside. This led to the devroopment of the srom in people today. The growth of Spirituality arises from our journey towards finding the lost meaning and value in our lives in this increasingly fragmenting and mechanical society. Moreover, Spirituality emphasises on the practice and ality bega which are deeply associated with the srom criticism regarding inferential thinking of the contemporary ideothe sal t. Spiri. Also, Spirituality has further devrooped through the findings of western centred ideothe es and rroie ons, and the lives and cultures of Africans and Native Indians.
Therefore, Christian spirituality should at least provide an answer to what people today look for in Spirituality. This is the demand of the current times that Christianity faces. In fact, the questions regarding Spirituality are really the questions regarding the fundamentals of all religions and philosophy before everything else. Henceforth, as aforementioned, Christianity should look into the four factors, the self, the meaning of life, the practices and the other religions to find the fundamentals of Christian Spirituality. Also Christian Spirituality must continue to ask itself a question, ‘Why discuss Spirituality now?’ and only then can it obtain an identity and provide an response to the demands of people today.
