This brief, accessibly written volume introduces key figures,
texts, and themes of the mystical tradition and shows how and why
the mystics can speak to the church today. Jason Baxter, an expert
educator and storyteller, explains that the mystical tradition
offers a more robust understanding of God than our current shallow
conceptions. Featuring engagement with primary sources and suitable
for use in a variety of courses, this book argues that the mystics
have much to say to contemporary Christians searching for authentic
modes of spirituality.
Dante's Divine Comedy is widely considered to be one of the most
significant works of literature ever written. It is renowned not
only for its ability to make truths known but also for its power to
make them loved. It captures centuries of thought on sin, love,
community, moral living, God's work in history, and God's ineffable
beauty. Like a Gothic cathedral, the beauty of this great poem can
be appreciated at first glance, but only with a guide can its
complexity and layers of meaning be fully comprehended. This
accessible introduction to Dante, which also serves as a primer to
the Divine Comedy, helps readers better appreciate and understand
Dante's spiritual masterpiece. Jason Baxter, an expert on Dante,
covers all the basic themes of the Divine Comedy, such as sin,
redemption, virtue, and vice. The book contains a general
introduction to Dante and a specific introduction to each canticle
(Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso), making it especially well
suited for classroom and homeschool use.
