Abstract
Systematic theology, especially the so-called foundational theology, has a strong connection
with traditions of philosophy, at least in Western thinking. From the 20th century onward,
systematic theology was often focussed on forms of transcendental philosophy. This article
argues why this kind of research has to be deepened by research into different forms of
spirituality. Research into ‘lived spirituality’ offers new pathways for foundational theology
and makes the need to develop a renewed approach to foundational theology all the more
urgent.
