The Mystic Spirituality of A.W. Tozer
Author: Eleanor Lynn Harris
Publisher: Edwin Mellen Press
ISBN: 9780773498723
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Though much work has been done in the fields of Catholic and Oriental spirituality, Protestant spirituality has often been neglected. After a brief biography of A.W. Tozer, this study compares Tozer's mysticism to 35 mystical classics he recommended, such as John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, etc. The focus is on the nature of contemporary Protestant mysticism and the examination of a 20th-century figure operating within a very conservative section of Protestantism who was influenced by mystical prayer. The position which Tozer reached may be of value to others also having to cope with the pressures of contemporary life in a metropolitan environment.

Healing the Divide
Author: Amos Smith
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1621896943
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Healing the Divide is a bold call to understand Jesus according to the earliest lineage of Christian Mystics--a call to transform our dualistic minds and heal a divided Church. This book is a must-read if you find yourself -frustrated by the fundamentalist and new age polarization of twenty-first-century Christianity; -bewildered by religious pluralism; -searching for Christianity's elusive mystic core. Twenty-first century Christianity is in crisis, careening toward fundamentalism on the one hand and a rootless new age Christianity on the other. Twenty-first century Christianity is also reeling from the maze of religious pluralism. Smith addresses and tempers these extremes by passionately and succinctly revealing Jesus as understood by the Alexandrian mystics. The Alexandrian mystics are the most long standing lineage of early Christian mystics. Their perspective on Jesus celebrates creative tensions, tempers extremes, and reveals Christian mysticism's definitive core.
