Abstract

Spirituality and Christianity are often regarded as distinct, even opposed, traditions with separate trajectories of development. This chapter suggests the opposite: That spirituality is better understood through its close and constitutive relation with Christianity, a relationship that extends from its origins in the nineteenth century through to the present day. The aim of what follows is to identify and analyze the main phases to date in this on-going relationship.
