Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

We are still too often told that Christian mysticism is no integral part of Christianity.

Sometimes, even, that it represents an opposition to the primitive Christian ideal.

Sometimes we are asked to believe that it origin ated from Neoplatonic influence; that Pagan blood runs in its veins, and that its genealogy goes back to Plotinus.

Far from this being the case, all the doctrines and all the experiences characteristic of genuine Christian mysticism can be found in the New Testament; and I believe that its emergence as a definite type of spiritual life coincides with the emergence of Christianity itself, in the person of its Founder.
