Teachings of the Christian Mystics

The Christian mystics are the treasure of Western civilizationyet they remain little known among those of us who are potentially their spiritual heirs. 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 lifeand to challenge our preconceived ideas about the path of Christianity. He has chosen selections that represent all eras of the Christian tradition as well as the amazing range of people who have embodied it people like Francis of Assisi Meister Eckhart Julian of Norwich Teresa of Avila Thomas Merton Bede Griffiths and many others.
