Product Description

This book gathers together for the first time Merton’s talks into a spiritual, historical, and theological survey of Christian Mysticism-from St John’s Gospel to St John of the Cross. Sixteen centuries are covered over thirteen lectures. This compact volume allows the spiritual seeker of today to learn from one of the twentieth century’s greatest Catholic spiritual teachers. The study materials at the back of the book, including additional primary source readings and thoughtful questions for reflection and discussion, make this an essential text for any student of Christian mysticism.
