Modern Spiritual Masters Series. Selections and a short biography
offer the wisdom of the Anglican writer, an outstanding voice in
twentieth-century spirituality and a modern pioneer in the
mysticism of everyday life.
A reprint of Evelyn Underhill's timeless study on the the nature
and principles of worship and the main forms in which they find
expression in Christianity. In the belief that religious experience
is the starting point of theological reconstruction, the author
analyses here the nature, characteristics and principles of how man
relates to God. The way and degree in which ritual, symbol,
sacrament and sacrifice become part of worship is also examined
and, subsequently, its principles are illustrated, as embodied in
the main types of cults.
A selection from Underhill's enduring devotional writings, chosen
for their pertinence to Lenten themes. Half a century has passed
since Evelyn Underhill's death, yet her devotional writings have
endured as a beacon to those who seek a deeper understanding of the
interior life in the mystical Christian tradition. The editor's
personal discovery of Underhill's works when he was a young student
at General Theological Seminary moved him to pursue an extensive
knowledge of her writings. From these he has skillfully culled
readings appropriate for every day of Lent, from Ash Wednesday to
Easter Eve and broadly following liturgical themes. Now back in
print, these selections were chosen with the purpose of deepening
Lenten observance by allowing the reader to follow the thought of
Underhill, from the spiritual stocktaking theme for Ash Wednesday
to Easter Saturday's joyous anticipation of God's ultimate Gift.
Originally published in 1934. Contents Include: PART ONE: I Believe
One God, Creator One Lord PART TWO: Incarnate Crucified Glorified
PARTTHREE: Spirit Church The World to Come
The title of the book, Abba, is the term used in more than one
place in the New Testament for addressing God as Father and it is
with the Our Father prayer that these meditations are concerned. At
first sight it might be thought impossible to say anything fresh on
something so familiar to all Christians as the Lord s Prayer. Yet
the inexhaustible depths of meaning to be found in it may, by the
very fact of familiarity, all too easily escape notice and
understanding.

Brief extracts from the Underhill book, Fruits of the Spirit, first
published in 1942, the year after Underhill's death. Each of these
brief pieces is actually a meditation on some aspect of the
spiritual life, and makes excellent devotional reading.
Regarded by many as the 20th Century's finest practitioner and
ablest teacher of Traditional Christian Mysticism, Evelyn Underwood
draws from the lives and writings of such beloved Catholic Saints
as St. Teresa, St. Augustine, St. Catherine of Siena, St. John of
the Cross, St. Hildegarde of Bingen, St. Mechtild, St. Bernard, and
dozens more, as well as from the works of Protestant giants like
Jacob Boehme, and George Fox, founder of the Quakers, to
demonstrate that "The spiritual life is not a special career
involving abstraction from the world of things. It is a part of
every man's life, and until he has realized it he is not a complete
human being, has not entered into possession of all his powers. It
is therefore the function of a practical mysticism to increase, not
diminish, the total efficiency, the wisdom and steadfastness, of
those who try to practice it..." At more than 600 pages, THE
COMPLETE CHRISTIAN MYSTIC is the ultimate single-volume "Masters
Class" on the mystical life.
