The facets of spirituality discussed in Conformed to His Image point to the centrality of the Lord Jesus Christ, and each of them adds a unique dimension to the gem of the spiritual life. Thus, it would be a mistake to reduce our understanding of the sanctification process to any one of these approaches, and yet this is commonly done. For instance, a number of writers who stress the truths of the exchanged life virtually ignore the need for the disciplines of the faith or the corporate aspects of spiritual growth. There are others who are so concerned about the reality of the spiritual warfare that they overlook the process of integrating our relationship with Christ in the routines of daily living. \nWhen we get excited about the power of the Holy Spirit, or about corporate worship, or about the spiritual disciplines, or about sharing our faith with others in a relational way, it is easy to focus so intently on the insights we have gained in one of these areas that we come to view this single approach as the panacea for spiritual development. This leads to a one-sidedness that leaves us vulnerable to the latent weaknesses of any of these approaches when carried too far. For instance, devotional spirituality left to itself can lead to an individualistic sentimentality, while disciplined spirituality left to itself can lead to an overemphasis on willpower and self-effort. \n

But when these approaches are fit together into a more comprehensive whole, they inform and balance one another. When we view them as complementary components, we are less inclined to think of them as formulas or recipes. Instead, each of the twelve facets is really a symbiotic, divine-human dynamic that requires both dependence and discipline. When we reduce these approaches to techniques, we miss the Augustinian truth that we come to God by love and not by navigation. It is essential to acknowledge the primacy of God’s grace over determined self-actualization, or we will deceive ourselves into thinking that our efforts and methods are the means of spiritual growth. As soon as we succumb to this illusion, we will try to control God by our formulas and routines.\nEven when we acknowledge that there are several legitimate and complementary approaches to growth in the spiritual life, there is a natural tendency to limit ourselves to the one that best fits our personality and to assume that if it works for us, it should work for others. And because of this tendency, many new believers are exposed to only one or two approaches, neither of which may be particularly helpful in view of their temperaments and predispositions. \n

In recent years, these concerns have been addressed by writers who have sought to identify various types of Christian spirituality, and to relate these types to differing mental and emotional character traits. For example, Allan H. Sager in Gospel-Centered Spirituality adapted a phenomenology of spirituality developed by Urban T. Holmes in his important book, A History of Christian Spirituality. This typology involves both a horizontal and a vertical continuum. The vertical scale concerns a person’s relational orientation to God, and this can range from purely cognitive and speculative illumination of the mind at one end of the spectrum, to purely affective and emotional illumination of the heart at the opposite end of the spectrum. \n

The horizontal scale concerns a person’s preferred means of pursuing the spiritual life, and this can range from a purely kataphatic orientation to a purely apophatic orientation. The term kataphatic is derived from a Greek word that means affirmative, and this refers to the tradition known as the via affirmativa, the way of affirmation. This tradition, more characteristic of the West, stresses the knowledge of God through general and special revelation. The term apophatic is derived from a Greek word that means negative, and this speaks of the tradition known as the via negativa, the way of negation. This tradition, more characteristic of the East, stresses God’s transcendence and mystery. Thus, a kataphatic style of spirituality uses symbols, images, and metaphors while an apophatic style emphasizes God’s hiddenness. \n\n

Thus, a kataphatic style of spirituality uses symbols, images, and metaphors while an apophatic style emphasizes God’s hiddenness. \n\n
The horizontal scale concerns a person’s preferred means of pursuing the spiritual life, and this can range from a purely kataphatic orientation to a purely apophatic orientation. The term kataphatic is derived from a Greek word that means affirmative, and this refers to the tradition known as the via affirmativa, the way of affirmation. This tradition, more characteristic of the West, stresses the knowledge of God through general and special revelation.

Instead, as the Types of Christian Spirituality chart shows, there is a wide range for diversity that incorporates elements from each of the types in manifold ways.\nA K+/M+ (high kataphatic/high mind) is very different in orientation and style from an A+/H+ (high apophatic/high heart). There are also differences within each quadrant; for example, within the K/H quadrant, there are nine combinations that range from a K-/H- to a K+/H+. \n\n\n

Apophatic/Heart (A/H) spirituality involves both intuition and feelings, and this combination encourages a diligent pursuit of an inward consciousness of God that stresses prayer and solitude. Theologians of the inner life include Bernard of Clairvaux, Thomas à Kempis, and Cistercian monastics such as Thomas Merton. Taken too far, this form of spirituality can lead to quietism—a neglect of the world and an excessive introspection.\n\n

Using the twelve facets of spirituality that are presented in this book, we can draw a very general correlation between these facets and the four types of spirituality we have just discussed.\nClearly, these generalizations admit many exceptions, since there are aspects of each of the twelve facets that relate to each of the four quadrants above. But it is helpful to note, for example, that people with a K/H bent are far more likely to be drawn to exchanged life or Spirit-filled spirituality than they will be to corporate spirituality or an emphasis on social justice that is more characteristic of those with an A/M orientation. \n\n\n

A different, but equally helpful typology of spiritual orientations can be derived from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). This preference indicator was adapted by Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers from Carl G. Jung’s personality classifications in his book on Psychological Types. \n The MBTI uses four pairs of preferences, and each of these pairs forms a continuum:\n1. The extraversion/introversion (E/I) scale concerns a person’s relative preference for being energized by the outer world of people and things versus the inner world of ideas. Extraverts are active, outgoing, participative, open, and verbal thinkers. Introverts are reflective, inwardly directed, reserved, and mental thinkers. \n2. The sensing/intuition (S/N) scale concerns one’s relative preference for perceiving and processing information through known facts versus possibilities and relationships. Sensors are oriented toward tangible sensory data, details, and present reality. Intuitives are oriented toward abstract idealistic associations, future possibilities, and theoretical patterns. \n3. The thinking/feeling (T/F) preference concerns the way people arrive at conclusions. Thinkers base their judgments more on impersonal, objective analysis, and are concerned with justice, truth, and logic. Feelers base their judgments more on personal, subjective values, and are concerned with harmony, tact, and humane treatment.\n4. The judging/perceiving (J/P) scale concerns people’s preferential orientation to outer life. Judgers are more inclined toward a systematic, organized, and planned lifestyle that involves goals, deadlines, and controlled procedures. Perceivers are more inclined toward a flexible and spontaneous lifestyle that welcomes change, surprise, and open-ended approaches. \n\n

The MBTI uses four pairs of preferences, and each of these pairs forms a continuum:\n1. The extraversion/introversion (E/I) scale concerns a person’s relative preference for being energized by the outer world of people and things versus the inner world of ideas. Extraverts are active, outgoing, participative, open, and verbal thinkers. Introverts are reflective, inwardly directed, reserved, and mental thinkers. \n2. The sensing/intuition (S/N) scale concerns one’s relative preference for perceiving and processing information through known facts versus possibilities and relationships. Sensors are oriented toward tangible sensory data, details, and present reality. Intuitives are oriented toward abstract idealistic associations, future possibilities, and theoretical patterns. \n3. The thinking/feeling (T/F) preference concerns the way people arrive at conclusions. Thinkers base their judgments more on impersonal, objective analysis, and are concerned with justice, truth, and logic. Feelers base their judgments more on personal, subjective values, and are concerned with harmony, tact, and humane treatment.\n4.

When these four preferential pairs are combined, they result in sixteen basic personality types ranging from ESTJ to INFP. But there are many nuances within each of these personality types, since each pair constitutes a continuum that can range, for example, from a strong E to a borderline E or I to a strong I. Thus, this typology allows for the uniqueness of each individual while offering insights into the way people can be grouped according to preferential patterns. (It should be noted that there is no hint of superiority or inferiority in these patterns, since they are based on personal preferences. Additional factors such as intelligence, abilities, skills, drive, and maturity add an enormous number of personality nuances.)\n\n\n

Those who follow Christ tend to gravitate toward the spiritual activities that nurture their preferential patterns. Up to a point, this is healthy since it provides great diversity within the unity of the body of Christ. But as M. Robert Mulholland Jr. observes in Invitation to a Journey, each of the four preferential pairs, when carried to either extreme (e.g., all T and no F or all F and no T) can lead to a spiritually unhealthy one-sidedness. For instance, when extraversion is carried too far, it can result in such an emphasis on the social dynamics of the spiritual life that there is no room for the depth that solitude and reflection can provide. Strong introverts, on the other hand, can avoid community and practice spiritual isolation. Similarly, strong thinkers can be too prone to a highly analytical and systematic approach to the spiritual life, while strong feelers can be vulnerable to sentimentality, emotionalism, and the quest for repeated experiential authentication. \n\n\n\n

Using the twelve facets of spirituality that are presented in this book, we can draw a very general correlation between these facets and the four types of spirituality we have just discussed.\nClearly, these generalizations admit many exceptions, since there are aspects of each of the twelve facets that relate to each of the four quadrants above. But it is helpful to note, for example, that people with a K/H bent are far more likely to be drawn to exchanged life or Spirit-filled spirituality than they will be to corporate spirituality or an emphasis on social justice that is more characteristic of those with an A/M orientation. \nWhile there seems to be a broad correspondence between these four temperaments and the Performax Personal Profile System (DISC), I must stress that because of the uniqueness of each individual, there are many exceptions. For instance, a person with an NT temperament can be a high D (dominance) instead of a high C (compliance). It is also important to remember that no person is all one temperament, since each of us displays unique combinations and degrees of these personality qualities. But ideally, the personal and spiritual maturation process should move us in the direction of becoming a blended synthesis of all four temperaments, so that we can adapt to people and situations in increasingly flexible and appropriate ways.\n\n\n\n

As an exercise, consider where you think you best fit in regard to the four preference pairs, the sixteen types, and the four temperaments. Then select an approach to spirituality or prayer that would draw you to a greater depth and balance by forcing you to stretch yourself in new and unfamiliar territory. The more you accept the need for this dynamic tension between affirming your natural dispositions and engaging in less preferred ways of being and doing, the more full-orbed and Christlike you will become in your spiritual journey. The Lord Jesus enjoyed the richness of a mystical union with His heavenly Father, but coupled this profound personal experience with social passion and engagement. \n\n

In Rediscovering Holiness, J. I. Packer addresses the problem of “rhapsody without realism” and “rule-keeping without relating,” and argues that all of us, regardless of temperament and natural aptitude, need a healthy balance of doctrine, experience, and practice. We should ask God for the grace to give us the desire and power to choose this biblical combination of knowing, being, and doing. \n\n

Visual Learners:\n\nlearn through seeing... .\n\nThese learners need to see the teacher's body language and facial expression to fully understand the content of a lesson. They tend to prefer sitting at the front of the classroom to avoid visual obstructions (e.g. people's heads). They may think in pictures and learn best from visual displays including: diagrams, illustrated text books, overhead transparencies, videos, flipcharts and hand-outs. During a lecture or classroom discussion, visual learners often prefer to take detailed notes to absorb the information.\n\nAuditory Learners:\n\nlearn through listening...\n\nThey learn best through verbal lectures, discussions, talking things through and listening to what others have to say. Auditory learners interpret the underlying meanings of speech through listening to tone of voice, pitch, speed and other nuances. Written information may have little meaning until it is heard. These learners often benefit from reading text aloud and using a tape recorder.\n\nTactile/Kinesthetic Learners:\n\nlearn through , moving, doing and touching... Tactile/Kinesthic - \n\nTactile/Kinesthetic persons learn best through a hands-on approach, actively exploring the physical world around them. They may find it hard to sit still for long periods and may become distracted by their need for activity and exploration. \n

Visual Learners:\n\nlearn through seeing... .\n\nThese learners need to see the teacher's body language and facial expression to fully understand the content of a lesson. They tend to prefer sitting at the front of the classroom to avoid visual obstructions (e.g. people's heads). They may think in pictures and learn best from visual displays including: diagrams, illustrated text books, overhead transparencies, videos, flipcharts and hand-outs.
