Proposing Pilgrimage as a Significant Component of Contemporary Religious Education
This article proposes a reexamination of the concept of pilgrimage as a means of personal transformation, with the aim of incorporating it as a fundamental component of religious education. To undertake this endeavor, it is first necessary to initiate an examination of the contemporary understanding of spirituality, as well as the biblical and theological perspectives within Christianity regarding pilgrimage. This analysis is followed by a presen…
Twelve-step Spirituality in View of the Sacrament of Reconciliation in the Catholic Church
This article ventures into the basic principles of the original Twelve-step program by studying its similarity with the dynamics of the Sacrament of Reconciliation in the Catholic Church. It begins with a short presentation of the theological foundation of confession, and continues with the history of AA’s Twelve-step recovery program while focusing on the latter’s spiritual dimension and that of similar groups.

Spiritual Bypassing: How to Diagnose and Attend to Various Forms of Spiritual Immaturity in Pastoral Work
For centuries, spiritual growth has been one of the major topics in theology. In this context, spiritual guides have attempted to help people discern between true and false paths towards God. Today, we are again witnessing a growing interest in spirituality itself and in finding means to develop the spiritual potential in human life. Because of the increasing number of people venturing into more advanced spiritual practices, spiritual bypass is a…
The Contemplative Psychology of Gerald Gordon May (1940–2005)
This article presents a diversity of major psychospiritual concepts in the works of Gerald Gordon May (1940–2005), half-brother on the renowned existential psychologist Rollo May. Unlike his brother, Gerald May has not penetrated the thought-provoking mainstream psychology of religion and spiritual theology. In the present text, we attempt to indicate some possible reasons for this, while also presenting him as a unique and insightful interdiscip…

Unconscious Spirituality: Toward a Contemporary Conceptualization
The Self as the Spiritual Subject. An Overview of Selected Concepts in View of the Positivist Paradigm
The main predicament presented in this article lies in the complexity found in the internal structure of the human being when one searches for key elements that define its essence and uniqueness. The overview begins with empirical research as exemplified in psychology, continues in presenting chosen theories in modern philosophy, with an accent on the phenomenological method, and subsequently puts forward the synthesis of them both in psychothera…
Integrating Spirituality into Counseling: Methods and Practices
An interdisciplinary perspective on the theology of masculinity
In contemporary academic discourse, there has been a strong tendency to shape theology according to a viewpoint based on the achievements of other sciences, especially those found in philosophy, psychology, sociology and anthropology. This has been particularly illustrated in the issue of masculinity. In this context, a question arises as follows: does theology have something to say to the social sciences? Or, does it only have to submit to them …
Chrystocentryczny wymiar antropologii Hansa Ursa von Balthasara
W niniejszym artykule autor nakreśla podstawowe cechy charakteryzujące rozumienie człowieka w myśli Hansa Ursa von Balthasara, według którego człowiek dochodzi do osiągnięcia prawdziwej pełni swego człowieczeństwa jedynie poprzez przyjęcie łaski odkupienia wysłużonej mu przez Chrystusa. Naśladowanie Chrystusa, które jest pierwotnym zadaniem człowieka odkupionego, jest w swej istocie przyjęciem i wypełnieniem otrzymanej od Boga Ojca życiowej misji…
Blindness: Physical or spiritual? An attempt at an interdisciplinary analysis
This article focuses on the issue of the weakness of human perception, which raises questions about the reasons for not recognising certain people and the mistakes related to such, at the level of both the physical and spiritual senses. The main issue here is why we do not recognise the face and figure of another person. One of the classic examples of this phenomenon is the meeting of Jesus with his disciples on the road to Emmaus (Lk 24:13–35), …
