In the introduction we asked what we believe are the preliminary questions for building a reliable understanding of what Christians should mine when it comes to thinking through and living out their spiritual formation and growth. Below we have listed those questions again, but this time made each question a link to other areas of this site which investigate those problems in some detail. Be sure to pass your cursor over each question and click on it to open those new areas. Cheers!
Foundational and procedural questions that need to be considered:
- What are some implicit or underlying philosophical concepts/assumptions that influence or play a foundational role in this exploration of spiritual formation?
- What texts, if any, should we consider both valid and reliable for spiritual formation? What kind of validity and reliability are we looking for and to what degree do these texts exhibit those qualities?
