Participants are familiarised with different forms of Christian spirituality and spiritual theology in connection with the subjects of theology and Christian philosophy.

In December 2023, the Faculty of Theology held a research day, the presentations of which will be made available to students and the wider public in the form of a lecture series in the summer semester 2024.

Lectures are given from the following areas: Psychology and Spirituality; Spiritual Impulses from the Old Testament; Feminist Spirituality; Science and Spirituality; Spiritual Experience and Everyday Mysticism. The lectures are each accompanied by a statement from a lecturer from another subject area, followed by a discussion. In addition to these lecture series, which are open to a wider circle of students and interested persons, there are also separate lecture units for course participants in which this content is combined with basic topics of Christian spirituality: Relationship with God and Christian prayer or meditation, discernment, vocation, discipleship, accompaniment, the world-centredness of Christian spirituality and the like. The diversity of Christian spirituality should also become tangible.
