Christian Mysticism (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by William Ralph Inge

Overview

First delivered as a series of eight lectures at Oxford University, this 1899 volume in defense of the Christian faith, “to confute all heretics and schismatics,” is based on nature and reason rather than signs and wonders. Mysticism is defined here as the realization—both mental and physical—of the presence of God. Included here are chapters, “The Mystical Element in the Bible,” “Practical and Devotional Mysticism,” “Nature-Mysticism and Symbolism,” and more.
