Beschreibung
Although the topic of spirituality has been experiencing a renaissance since the end of the previous century, it is not always associated with academic activities. The book invites scholars from all fields to rethink this traditional divide between knowledge and spirituality, offering fresh perspectives on how the two can coexist and enhance each other. Twenty-nine authors from across the world illustrate how scholarly pursuits in various disciplines can be deeply spiritual journeys.
