Lisa Dahill "Christ in Us: A Response to Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen" 34 In Currents in Theology and Mission. vol. 2, April 2007 : 97-100

Originally presented as a response to a lecture given by Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago in 2006, this essay contributes in its own right to the conversation on Lutheran spirituality nourished by the last three decades of Finnish Luther scholarship around questions of theosis. It explores these motifs with a particular focus on desire, eros, and intimacy as neglected dimensions of an authentically Lutheran spirituality.

Lisa Dahill "To Sing the Mystical Union: “Warum sollt ich mich denn grämen’" In CrossAccent. vol. 15, no. 2, August 2007 : 40-49

Explores the affective, even erotic, heart of Paul Gerhardt‘s (and, more broadly, Lutheran) spirituality through the text of one of his hymns: “Warum sollt ich mich denn grämen.” Locating the hymn within the traditions of mystical love poetry and communally embodied song, the article asserts that recovery of such hymns can provide an authentically Lutheran contribution, full of theological and poetic richness, to the repertoire of heart-focused worship songs so popular today.

Lisa Dahill "Jesus is for You: A Feminist Reading of Bonhoeffer’s Christology" In Currents in Theology and Mission. vol. 34, no. 4, August 2007 : 250-259

This essay makes available a central portion of Reading from the Underside of Selfhood: its tracing of Bonhoeffer‘s conception of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ through a feminist lens.

Lisa Dahill "For the Life of the World: Toward the Next Ten Years of Spiritus" In Spiritus: A Journal of Christian Spirituality. vol. 10, Fall 2010 : 287-292

This essay contributes to an invited panel reflecting on the future of the discipline of Christian Spirituality; I assert the necessity of an ecological perspective framing everything we do.

Lisa Dahill "Particularity, Incarnation, and Discernment: Bonhoeffer’s ‘Christmas’ Spirituality" In Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations. vol. 2, no. 1, 2007 : 53-61

In this article, I explore what it might mean to name Bonhoeffer‘s experience of the Christian life a “Christmas” spirituality. Both pieces were developed out of lectures given in fall 2006. This first piece explores Bonhoeffer‘s conception of the self and its particularity and formation, with reference to discernment, and was originally presented to a symposium of the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning in Boston; the Christmas motif frames the piece for this ecumenical audience but is not fully developed.
