This Thesis submitted for Master of Theology discourse about two areas: Christian spirituality and eco-holistic paradigm. The Modern Paradigm, the science, the technology and the globalization have led the man to a wonderful condition of development and knowledge. The rationality of the dominant paradigm, with its brand rationalist-mechanist-reductionist, introduced the concept of progress as economic development, leading capitalism to the summit and man to a final situation. Life has never been so threatened in humanity‟s history. Considering the XXI century ecological and social crisis, human being is perplexed. The dominant rationality does not offer solutions that address the modern issues. Then emerges the Eco-Holistic Paradigm expressing new: consciousness, ethics and thought. Humanity sees itself as a unique community that inhabits the same house: the planet Earth. The ecology, quantum physics and spirituality build new bridges between science and reality and it arouses to a transformation in humanity‟s perspective. In this context, Christianity, with its historical and embodied spirituality, express the faith in Jesus Christ good news and get in dialogue with macroshift. The Christian spirituality, while expressing its identity with Jesus Christ good news and with the Kingdom of God mission, seek to promote the fullness of the human community in the inculturation of Gospel, in defense of all forms and expressions of life and re-enchantment in front the mystery of the universe.
