The study of spirituality focuses upon the human experience of making meaning. Spirituality is ubiquitous, spanning all eras, chronological and physical ages, genders, social classes, religious systems, races, cultures, geographic locations, monotheism, polytheism, non-theism, agnosticism, and/or atheism. It is an endeavour that constitutes a person's, or people's, perceived and expressed experiences of being human throughout life. As such, its study constitutes not only the most fundamental of any social scientific approach to comprehending the human condition, but also the humanities and arts as well. The chapters in this book advance the nascent movement toward establishing the field of spirituality studies as a locus of scientific, pedagogical and artistic inquiry. The authors come from a wide variety of fields, approaches and geographic locations. The objects of their study are humankind as a whole, teachers and students, artistic creativity and some of the spiritual lenses through which art may be comprehended.
