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.
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.
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
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.
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.
For generations, readers have found in the writings of Evelyn
Underhill the guidance to help them deepen their own interior lives
in the Christian mystical tradition. In this lovely volume,
Anglican author and editor Christopher Webber has carefully
selected inspirational passages from Underhill's most significant
works, providing readings for every day of Advent and Christmas,
and sharing the timeless treasure of Underhill's spiritual vision.
2013 Reprint of 1937 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Evelyn
Underhill was an English Anglo-Catholic writer and pacifist known
for her numerous works on religion and spiritual practice, in
particular Christian mysticism. This book contains in an expanded
form the four addresses on the Spiritual Life which were given by
Underhill in 1936. The are published in response to numerous
requests from listeners and in the hope that they will be found
suitable for Lenten reading. The spiritual life is here considered,
not as an intense form of piety peculiar to saints, but as the
living heart of all religion, and therefore of vital concern to
ordinary men and women. Its essence is held to consist in a growing
communion with God, a growing cooperation with Him, inspiring and
transforming every kind of action from the most routine to the most
heroic. Essays are: What is the Spiritual Life The Spiritual Life
as Communion with God The Spiritual Life as Co-operation with God
Some Questions and Difficulties.
