4 Note the difference of Walter Principe's position on this point from Schneiders' and, presumably, Cunningham's. Principe points out that a theological approach to spiritual experiences involves assessment according to theological principles, whereas a religious studies approach to such experiences is content with a descriptive analysis (Principe, Walter, “Toward Defining Spirituality,” Studies in Religion 12 [1983]: 139–40CrossRefGoogle Scholar).

6 Schneiders, 684, defines spirituality as “the experience of consciously striving to integrate one's life in terms not of isolation and self-absorption but of self-transcendence toward the ultimate value on perceives.' And Principe, 139, says that spirituality “points to those aspects of a person's living a faith or commitment that concern his or her striving to attain the highest ideal or goal.”
