Abstract

This issue of the Journal of Psychology and Theology focuses on cultural humility. Cultural humility is an important domain of general humility that focuses on cultural differences. In this introduction to the special issue, we first define cultural humility, and briefly share some history for how the construct has developed over time. Then, we present some theory and research that has explored cultural humility in the context of religious, spiritual, and ideological differences and conflict. After sharing some background theory and research on cultural humility, we summarize the subsequent articles in this special issue.
