Missional Spirituality in the 21st Century Post-Pandemic Era

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the topic of Christian spirituality in anticipation of the church’s missional engagement in the 21st century post-pandemic era. The missional church movement has already provided a new innovative paradigm (in terms of concept, theory, and praxis) for mission since the turn of the 21st century. However, the topic of spirituality has not been a widely discussed in the mission circles in general. The aim of this thesis, then, is to make a contribution in this area of missional spirituality by presenting an overview of the key topics and contemporary issues related to Christian spirituality, particularly in relation to the missional church movement. In this thesis, we begin with the broad paradigm of missional church, followed by a working definition of spirituality. Next, some key topics related to missional spirituality will be discussed as follows: supernatural worldview, spiritual experience, spiritual call, spiritual gifts, healing/restoration, spiritual warfare, spiritual discernment, and spiritual life in general. Then, the relevance of Christian spirituality in the contemporary global context will be discussed as follows: secular society, religious pluralism, globalization, technologism, indigenous cultural movement, work/vocation, and global crises (including the coronavirus pandemic). Finally, the missionalincarnational model of Christian spirituality will be presented as the premier solution for the spiritual issues and problems the churches will likely encounter in their missional endeavors in the post-pandemic era.
