This book details the concept of pneumaplasticity, and applies it to the human spiritual experience. The author highlights fear’s role in cultivating rigid spirituality, and describes its current impact. She identifies and expounds upon pneumaplasticity as an essential factor in rewiring human spirituality today. This work provides practical examples and insight for interfaith spiritual care providers and clergy to utilize within their scopes of practice.
Implementing a broad and flexible approach, pneumaplasticity provides a means for human beings to identify and rewire our fear, so it does not devolve into unhealthy or violent expressions, and can serve as energy for emotional and spiritual growth. As human beings learn to cultivate our pneumaplasticity, we will begin to also rewire our fear, and to embrace our full potential. We will begin to affirm our common humanity, to discover new ways of forming community, and to articulate new and renewed senses of meaning and purpose.
After the Postsecular and the Postmodern
A vanguard of scholars asks what comes after the postsecular and postmodern in Continental philosophy of religion. This volume argues philosophy must liberate itself from theological norms and mutate into a new speculative practice to confront the challenges of our time.
