Exploring the religious impulse known as mysticism - the "silent
cry" at the heart of all the world's religions. Mysticism, in the
sense of a "longing for God," has been present in all times,
cultures, and religions. But Soelle believes it has never been more
important than in this age of materialism and fundamentalism. The
antiauthoritarian mystical element in each religion leads to
community of free spirits and resistance to the death-dealing
aspects of our contemporary culture. Religion in the third
millennium, Soelle argues, either will be mystical or it will be
dead. Therefore, Soelle identifies strongly with the hunger of New
Age searchers, but laments the religious fast food they devour.
Today, a kind of "democratized mysticism" of those without much
religious background flourishes. This mystical experience is not
drawn so much of the tradition as out of contemporary experiences.
In that sense, each of us is a mystic, and Soelle's work seeks to
give theological depth, clarity, and direction. This, her magnum
opus, conjoins Soelle's deep religious knowledge and wisdom with
her passion for social justice into a work destined to be a classic
of religious literature.
