Abstract

Christian Spirituality draws heavily on the Old Testament which is essential to knowing the Lord God of Hosts, the creator of the universe and to having a true understanding of the Bible and God’s unfolding of the greatest love of human kind. The aim of the paper was to show that the Old Testament is an essential and enriching source for the development of a Christian concept of spiritual formation. The paper reviewed published literature and references in the Bible (Old and New Testaments), to show and establish the importance of Old Testament in Christian Spirituality. It followed the standard methodology for systematic reviews of published articles on “Old Testament and Christian spirituality”. The research revealed that the Old Testament narratives on Creation, Covenant, Community and role models in the Bible are an essential and enriching source for Christian spirituality. However, the concept is complete with the fulfilment of prophesies as stated in the New Testament..
