Become a member of the Society for the Study of Christian Spirituality and receive benefits such as:
  • A subscription to Spiritus
  • Access to online Society information
  • Invitations to Annual Meeting events

The Society welcomes to membership all who share the Society’s interest in the study of Christian spirituality, a growing ecumenical, interdisciplinary, and academic field. Students are invited to join at a reduced rate.

Those interested in becoming members may do so through Johns Hopkins University Press, which publishes the Society’s journal, Spiritus, sent to all members. Membership dues include a subscription to Spiritus.

Members receive the journal; the opportunity to be part of the Society’s listserv; an annual mailing preceding the Annual Meeting; and invitations to special events of the Society held before and during the AAR. Members are also encouraged to participate in the Society’s work by attending the annual Business Meeting, nominating members of the Governing Board, and proposing topics for sessions held during the AAR.

The SSCS, in its young life, has helped make the field of Christian Spirituality visible and effective in academic and professional religious studies societies. Even more important, it has become a forum for the meeting and interchange of scholars in the field across frontiers of geography, denominations, and specializations.
