This chapter offers a genealogical examination of spirituality across three paradigms—premodern, modern, and postmodern—analyzing their underlying structures through the lens of lex orandi, lex credendi. It begins by exploring premodern spirituality, characterized by metaphysical transcendence, porous selfhood, and hierarchical time, where divine realities shape human experience. The chapter then shifts to modern spirituality, which centers human consciousness as the primary arbiter of meaning, producing a buffered self within the immanent frame. Finally, it examines postmodern spirituality, which deconstructs both premodern metaphysical certainty and modern anthropocentric correlationism, emphasizing absence, rupture, and différance as sites of spiritual possibility. Using a cinematic metaphor to illustrate these differing spiritual imaginaries, the chapter critiques their limitations and sets the stage for Object Spirituality—a paradigm that moves beyond these frameworks by recognizing spirituality as an emergent property of object relations rather than a function of either divine hierarchy or human subjectivity.
