Mapping Global Perspectives on Spiritual Formation: A New Bibliography from Scholar Leaders

How is spiritual formation understood, practiced, and explored across different cultures and Christian traditions around the world?

Through a collaborative initiative with the Global Formation Project, Scholar Leaders has undertaken an extensive effort to identify and compile spiritual formation resources from diverse global contexts, with particular attention to scholarship and perspectives that are often underrepresented in English-language theological conversations.

Over the course of two years, Juliany González, working with Scholar Leaders, has curated an annotated bibliography of more than 400 resources spanning a wide range of geographic regions, theological perspectives, and formats. The collection includes academic articles, books, videos, podcasts, and other materials, bringing together resources that might otherwise be difficult for scholars, educators, ministry leaders, and interested readers to discover.

This work reflects a shared commitment to broadening conversations about spiritual formation beyond familiar Western perspectives and making the richness of global Christian scholarship more visible and accessible.

The bibliography is currently being prepared for wider public access. The Global Formation Project and Scholar Leaders are exploring how best to share this collection in a way that makes it accessible, useful, and sustainable for a diverse international audience.

We look forward to sharing more about this significant resource as it becomes available.
