Cross-Cultural Spiritual Formation

Spiritual formation has gained renewed interest within evangelical Christianity, yet limited attention has been given to how such formation is experienced across cultures, particularly from non-Western perspectives. This book explores what happens when Chinese seminary students, shaped by Confucian values of hierarchy, filial piety, moral performance, and deeply embedded shame dynamics, encounter a Western spiritual formation program at a North American seminary.By illuminating the intersection of culture, spirituality, and adult learning, this book offers valuable insights for scholars, educators, and ministry leaders seeking to foster spiritually transformative learning in culturally diverse and global Christian contexts.
