Studies in spirituality

Since its initiation in 1991, Studies in Spirituality has become a crucial international voice in the study of spirituality.

Our journal is published annually by the Titus Brandsma Institute in collaboration with Peeters Publishers. Besides the journal, we provide the opportunity to publish works of monograph length in our supplements, which are issued in a frequency of about one volume a year.

Specialists on spirituality and mysticism

The purpose of Studies in Spirituality is to publish academic and specialist views on spirituality and mysticism, and thus promote spirituality as an academic discipline with a specific object and methodology – a discipline in continuous dialogue with other sciences that may assist in clarifying questions and problems in spirituality.

Wide spectrum

Since spirituality needs a multi-disciplinary approach, Studies in Spirituality covers a wide spectrum: theoretical questions about spirituality and mysticism; fundamental aspects and phenomena of spiritual transformation; important currents, periods and figures in the different spiritual traditions. The focus is on Judeo-Christian traditions mainly, although not exclusively.
