Publisher's summary

This brief, accessibly written volume introduces key figures, texts, and themes of the mystical tradition and shows how and why the mystics can speak to the church today. Jason Baxter, an expert educator and storyteller, explains that the mystical tradition offers a more robust understanding of God than our current shallow conceptions. Featuring engagement with primary sources and suitable for use in a variety of courses, this book argues that the mystics have much to say to contemporary Christians searching for authentic modes of spirituality.

Fabulous.

A noble and valiant effort to express the inexpressible wonder of God through the lense of our forgotten ancestors.
Well done!
Thank you

typical non mystic analysis of mysticism.

this is why many people fear Christian Deep spirituality... all of the chapters accept the last utterly missed the mark as all intillectuals approaching this subject as having stages and organized methods, as if by a scientific method...All good people out there, read the saints ( particularly the mystic saints) yourselves...they ALL wrote for common people to be the reader... relying on college professors as mediators has caused terrible damage....I can say with certainty this man has NOT experienced God mystically even in its early manner.... it's a love affair and anyone who remotely
experienced this would NEVER discuss it like this...
saint bernard, Teresa of Avila, john of ruysbroeck, even Evelyn underhill would be great places to go for healthy treatments on this wonderous reality...
God bless you all!!!
