This clear and comprehensive anthology, culled from the vast corpus of Christian mystical literature by the renowned theologian and historian Bernard McGinn, presents nearly one hundred selections, from the writings of Origen of Alexandria in the third century to the work of twentieth-century mystics such as Thomas Merton. Uniquely organized by subject rather than by author, The Essential Writings of Christian Mysticism explores how human life is transformed through the search for direct contact with God. Part one examines the preparation for encountering God through biblical interpretation and prayer; the second part focuses on the mystics’ actual encounters with God; and part three addresses the implications of the mystical life, showing how mystics have been received over time, and how they practice their faith through private contemplation and public actions. In addition to his illuminating Introduction, Bernard McGinn provides accessible headnotes for each section, as well as numerous biographical sketches and a selected bibliography. Praise for The Essential Writings of Christian Mysticism “No one is better equipped than Bernard McGinn to provide a thorough and balanced guide to this vast literature….This is an anthology which deserves to be read not only by those who study Christian history and theology, but by believers who long to deepen their own lives of prayer and service.” -- Anglican Theological Review “Bernard McGinn, a preeminent historian and interpreter of the Christian mystical tradition, has edited this fine collection of mystical writings, organizing them thematically....McGinn offers helpful introductions to each thematic section, author and entry, as well as a brief critical bibliography on mysticism. Published in the Modern Library Classic series, this is a great value.” – Christian Century "No-one is better equipped than Professor McGinn to provide a thorough and balanced guide to this vast literature. A first-class selection, by a first-class scholar." -- Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury “This accessible anthology by the scholarly world’s leading historian of the Western Christian mystical tradition easily outstrips all others in its comprehensiveness, the aptness of its selection of texts, and in the intelligent manner of its organization.” -- Denys Turner, Horace Tracy Pitkin Professor of Historical Theology, Yale Divinity School "An immensely rich anthology, assembled and introduced by our foremost student of mysticism. Both the scholar and the disciple will find God’s plenty here." -- Barbara Newman, Professor of English, Religion, and Classics, John Evans Professor of Latin, Northwestern University "An unusually clear and insightful exposition of major texts selected by one of the greatest scholars in the field of Christian mysticism, based on his vast erudition and uniquely sensitive interpretation. Like his other books, this one too is destined to become a classic.” -- Professor Moshe Idel, Hebrew University, Jerusalem

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.

For over 100 years western students have been aided by the teachings of Yogi Ramacharaka. Generations of students have found the study of the Ramacharaka texts and the practice of his teachings to be a valuable step in the attainment of wisdom, awareness, and improved health of mind, body and spirit. This collector-quality edition includes the complete text of this enduring classic in a freshly edited and newly typeset edition. With a generous 6"x9" page size, this Summit Classic edition is printed on heavyweight bright white paper with a fully laminated cover featuring an original full color design. Also included is an original detailed biographical sketch discussing the life and work of the secretive author. Mystic Christianity is a comprehensive study of the influence and impact of the beliefs, concepts, principles and philosophy of ancient Judaic and eastern mysticism and the Kabbalah on the religion of Christianity. Presented in a straightforward manner in plain language, the text guides the reader through a study of the ancient mystic and occult doctrines which form the basis of much of the Christian Doctrine as presented in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. Drawing on both ancient and more modern sources, the text sheds light on many of the most confusing, mysterious and paradoxical episodes in the life, teaching, and philosophy of Jesus Christ, revealing Him not as the creator of an entirely new belief system, but as the master and teacher of an ancient system of knowledge and beliefs comprising the "Inner Teachings" previously known only to a handful of initiates. Whether as an introduction for beginners or a self-study guide for more advanced readers, the systematic, straightforward style of the work makes the often abstract and mysterious concepts accessible to all readers, as it explores the role of ancient wisdom and knowledge in the teachings of Jesus, and the later entry, through various means, of concepts which distorted and confused the original message of the Master, a message of the "oneness" of the universe, and the place of man — collectively and individually — in that universe, a universe where there are universal laws at work and universal truths at the heart of existence. Like much of the author's work, the text teaches that the discovery and understanding of these universal laws and truths can be applied to improve the life of the individual, and that humankind's growth and development is an ongoing process which should be directed at the discovery and application of these principles. But the message is also directed to each individual, for each individual is capable of understanding some part of the universal truth, and the application of that part which is within the grasp of the individual will further the mental and spiritual growth and development of that individual. This book is most emphatically NOT an overt rejection of Jesus or his teachings, or the central message of Christianity. But it strips away layers of misleading information added to that message in the ensuing years by often well-meaning disciples and believers who confused and obscured the real teachings of Jesus, teachings grounded in an ancient and mysterious wisdom.

Mystic Christianity is a compelling and innovative discussion of Christianity and God's purpose for our lives. The attributes and means by which Christian mysticism is studied and practiced are varied. They range from ecstatic visions of the soul's mystical union with God and theosis (spiritual union with God) in Eastern Orthodox theology to simple prayerful contemplation of Holy Scripture (i.e. Lectio Divina).

An anthology of excerpts and scriptures from a diverse selection of Christian mystics such as Francis of Assisi, Meister Eckhart, Julian of Norwich, Teresa of Avila, Thomas Merton, Bede Griffiths, and many others. The Christian mystics are a treasure of Western civilization, yet they remain little known. Andrew Harvey’s anthology confronts us with the mystics in their own words to show us how well they serve, even now, as guides for the spiritual life—and to challenge preconceived ideas about the path of Christianity. The selections here represent all eras of the Christian tradition as well as an amazing range of people who have embodied it. This book is part of the Shambhala Pocket Library series. The Shambhala Pocket Library is a collection of short, portable teachings from notable figures across religious traditions and classic texts. The covers in this series are rendered by Colorado artist Robert Spellman. The books in this collection distill the wisdom and heart of the work Shambhala Publications has published over 50 years into a compact format that is collectible, reader-friendly, and applicable to everyday life.
