Inhaltsangabe

Mystics changed Christian history from the inside out. Their questions are our questions. In Volume I of Hours with the Mystics, Robert Alfred Vaughan offers a classic Christian mysticism book that blends biography, theology and literary insight. Moving through the history of religious opinion from the early church into the high Middle Ages, he traces the lives of Christian mystics and patiently unfolds their visions, doubts and devotions. These lives still burn today. Vaughan writes as both pastor and scholar, opening a world of mystical theology and devotion shaped by medieval European mystic writers and the first stirrings of early modern mystics. First published as a landmark 19th century theological work, this scholarly study of mysticism helped prepare the ground for later explorations such as Evelyn Underhill Mysticism and modern studies of the varieties of religious experience. Its combination of narrative, careful reading of texts and humane commentary makes it equally valuable for theology students seeking context and for spiritual seekers drawn to the inward path. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike, from those discovering medieval and early modern mystics for the first time to those building a serious library of Christian classics.
