Abstract

The focus of the article is to highlight authentic exponents of the Christian faith and to elicit the attributes of Christian spirituality. The first goal is to provide a backdrop of current notions and applications of spirituality and its impact on Christian spirituality. Secondly, to conceptualise spirituality in a universal sense. Thirdly, to examine spirituality within a Christian framework. With reference to the Christian context, biblical and theological resources such as the theology of Thurneysen (1963), Chmielewski (2017) and Ridderbos (1962), amongst others, will be applied. Biblical texts and leading authors on Christian spirituality will also be consulted. From these conceptualisations an analysis will be made regarding the different attributes of spirituality generically, and Christian spirituality, specifically. The methodological approach will be from a Christian hermeneutic perspective. Finally, conclusions will be made to highlight the findings regarding the features of authenticity and its link to attributes of Christian spirituality today.

在日益世俗化和怀疑主义的时代,探索真正的基督教精神的属性
这篇文章的重点是突出基督教信仰的真实倡导者,并引出基督教精神的属性。第一个目标是提供当前精神观念和应用的背景及其对基督教精神的影响。第二,在普遍意义上对精神进行概念化。第三,在基督教的框架内审视精神。关于基督教背景,将应用圣经和神学资源,如Thurneysen(1963)、Chmielewski(2017)和Ridderbos(1962)的神学。还将咨询圣经文本和基督教精神方面的主要作者。从这些概念出发,我们将对精神的不同属性进行分析,特别是基督教精神。方法论将从基督教解释学的角度出发。最后,我们将得出结论,强调关于真实性特征及其与当今基督教精神属性的联系的发现。
