Spiritus is an interdisciplinary, ecumenical journal devoted to the scholarly study of Christian spirituality. Through insightful essays, reviews, poetry, visual images, and occasional translations of important texts, Spiritus seeks to appeal not only to scholars and academics, but also to ministers, practitioners, and those in the helping professions. It is the official journal of the Society for the Study of Christian Spirituality (SSCS).
The primary aims of the journal are to:
- Promote research and dialogue within the growing interdisciplinary field of spirituality
- Review new studies and translations of significant works within the field
- Plot the parameters of spirituality as a new academic discipline, keeping to the forefront questions of methodology and interpretation
- Foster interdisciplinary and inter-confessional dialogue, striving to be inclusive of the widest possible range of expressions of Christian spirituality, while also maintaining an open dialogue with other spiritual traditions
- Explore connections between spirituality and cultural analysis (including literary and artistic expressions, social activism, issues of race and gender, and emerging forms of spiritual practice), and
- Encourage research in the history of Christian spirituality (especially in connection with the ongoing publication of critical editions of classic texts).

“When I view all beings not as special creations, but as the lineal descendants of some few beings which lived long before the first bed of the Cambrian system was deposited, they seem to me to become ennobled.”
—Charles Darwin
