The twelfth-century Carthusian monk, Guigo II, famously comments, “What is the use of spending one’s time in lectio continua (continuous reading), running through the lives and sayings of holy men, unless we can extract nourishment from them by chewing and digesting this food so that its strength can pass into our inmost heart?” In this course we will take our cue from Guigo’s recommendation of chewing and digesting the words of Scripture in lectio divina (sacred reading). In Guigo’s explanation, lectio divina consists of reading (lectio), meditation (meditatio), prayer (oratio), and contemplation (contemplatio). We will look at the theoretical underpinnings of sacred reading, we will discuss the actual use of Scripture by patristic and medieval theologians, and we will follow in their footsteps by engaging in the practice of sacred reading ourselves.

Introduction to Christian Spirituality is the first of two courses that together provide a comprehensive introduction to ascetical theology including an overview of the general literature of Christian spirituality and its historical development. AT 501H concerns the individual’s spiritual life and surveys the spiritual literature of the first fourteen Christian centuries. The course has a dual focus on the academic basis of the Church’s spiritual tradition and the student’s experiential appropriation of that tradition, and so the course contains elements meant not only to foster in participants an intellectus fidei (a faithful understanding), but also to assist in developing a habitus fidei (a faithful character) that is embodied in a personalized praxis fidei (a faithful practice).
