A renewed interest in the spiritual, with an increasing number of
people today wishing to incorporate the contemplative in their
active lives, prompts the reissue of this classic work, a doctrine
that is at once elevated and practical. The writings are meant to
be studied from three distinct points of view: religious
philosophy, material for the study of those states between mind and
body such as ecstasy and trance, and for the sake of their
mysticism. Drawn from the writings and teachings of Saint
Augustine, Saint Gregory and Saint Bernard, the writings form a
coordinated body of doctrine with what three great teachers of
mystical theology in the Western Church have written concerning
their own religious experience and the theories they based on it.
In addition, the book discusses such important topics as
speculative contemplation, what mysticism is, the characteristics
of Western mysticism, the practical, and the contrasts between the
contemplative and active lives. No student of mysticism can
possibly afford to neglect a volume so full of valuable suggestions
and real insight into spiritual conditions.
