Ascetical theology
Ascetical theology is the organized study or presentation of spiritual teachings found in Christian Scripture and the Church Fathers that help the faithful to more perfectly follow Christ and attain to ''Christian perfection''. The word ''ascetic'' is from the Greek word ἄσκησις ''askesis'',〔(Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon )〕 meaning ''practice''. The English term ''ascesis'' means "the practice of self-discipline".〔OED〕 Christian asceticism is commonly thought to imply self-denial for a spiritual purpose. The term ''ascetical theology'' is used primarily in Catholic theology; the Eastern Orthodox use distinct terms (see below) and other religious traditions conceive of following Christ or God differently from either Catholics or Eastern Orthodox (see below).
== Purpose ==
Christianity purposes to provide the means to follow Christ so we may enter eternal bliss. Christian perfection is a perfection of love. Attaining this love involves rejecting (or ''denying'') that which is disordered within ourselves, learning to love and trust God, and growing in prayer life toward union with God. This may or may not be accompanied by mystical experiences (for example visions, rapture, or miracles). This progression and the various means by which to traverse it are described in the field of ''ascetical theology''.
