Abstract: Spiritus: A Journal of Christian Spirituality is the official journal of the Society for the Study of Christian Spirituality (SSCS). On the occasion of Spiritus ’s twenty-fifth anniversary, ten scholars in this global field were invited to express their gratitude for past experiences and developments within this discipline, and to do so by responding to the prompt: What have you found most inspiring about the study of Christian spirituality over the past quarter century? Recurring themes among the responses include gratitude for opportunities for collaborative learning and conversations in community, and particularly for the encouragement and guidance of gifted mentors.
Jung et al. (2025) studied this question.
