Aims & Scope
Spirituality Studies is a double-blind peer-reviewed academic journal on spirituality. The journal publishes original contributions from all areas of spirituality and interconnects three approaches to its study – academic, experiential, and educational. The combination of these three areas creates a unique platform for understanding the phenomenon of spirituality and for constructive dialogue between different perspectives and methods of research. Spirituality Studies covers a wide range of theoretical and practical (lived spirituality) issues related to contemplative spirituality, such as processes of spiritual transformation as reported and described in various traditions of mysticism (in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc.) or yoga (in Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, new religious movements, etc.). The journal publishes research studies, both theoretical and empirical, academic articles, essays, interviews, reviews, and poetry. Spirituality Studies also provides a forum for the sharing of personal spiritual experiences of spiritual practitioners in the form of autobiographical essays or poetry. By combining academic and personal approaches to spirituality, the journal aims to provide an exceptional interdisciplinary platform for constructive dialogue among a variety of viewpoints, approaches, and methodologies in the study of spirituality. The third area of focus for Spirituality Studies is spiritual education. By publishing studies in spiritual education, as well as teaching and methodical materials that reflect the practical experience of educators, Spirituality Studies facilitates education in spirituality and promotes awareness of the importance of spirituality for personal, interpersonal, and social well-being.
