Mysticism
Author: Evelyn Underhill
Publisher: e-artnow
ISBN: 8026896866
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 733
Book Description
"Mysticism" is one of most celebrated books on the subject. The spirit of the book is romantic, engaged, and theoretical rather than historical or scientific. Underhill has little use for theoretical explanations and the traditional religious experience, formal classifications or analysis. She dismisses William James' pioneering study, The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902), and his "four marks of the mystic state" (ineffability, noetic quality, transcience, and passivity). Excerpt: "All men, at one time or another, have fallen in love with the veiled Isis whom they call Truth. With most, this has been a passing passion: they have early seen its hopelessness and turned to more practical things. But others remain all their lives the devout lovers of reality: though the manner of their love, the vision which they make to themselves of the beloved object varies enormously. Some see Truth as Dante saw Beatrice: an adorable yet intangible figure, found in this world yet revealing the next."

Women Mystics in Medieval Europe
Author: Emilie Zum Brunn
Publisher: Paragon House Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
"WOMEN MYSTICS IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE revives the exquisite mystical literature of five powerful mystics of the Middle Ages: a Benedictine Abbess, a Cisterian Prioress, and three Beguines. The lost story of feminine Christianity is here enriched for the first time by the historical context of each woman's life and her fresh literary expression of spiritual reality. Hildegard of Bingen, Hadewijch of Antwerp, Beatrice of Nazareth, Mechthild of Magdeburg, and Marguerite Porete were acknowledged handmaidens of God's prophetic spirit. Their teaching, solidly based in theological and metaphysical culture, was even thought superior to that of the scholastic doctors of the time. ...an important work of reference for Christians and spiritual seekers as well as an inspirational resource for those who aspire to 'see without intermediary what God is.'" -- page 4 of cover.
