awareness in contemporary society and the future of
Christian spirituality. In the first part of this article the author
points at some individual and social factors causing the
emergence of new religious awareness. By means of sociological
models of understanding the position of religion in modern society,
the author tries to give the main determinants of current
spiritual situation of our time. The second part of the work is

the described cultural context. The enculturation of Christian
spirituality is illustrated in three concrete examples: spirituality
and development of contemplative individuality, spirituality
and theology of the other, spirituality and Christian joy.
