Mysticism
Title: Mysticism: The Preemient study in the Nature and Development of Spiritual Consciousness
Author: Evelyn Underhill
Publisher: Image Press Date: 1990
Side note: This was originally published in 1911.
This is a ponderous and slow to read book. I am approximately a third of the way through it and I have been pecking at it for (literally) months now. When I picked it up, I had been hoping for something closer to a general survey of different practices of mysticism from around the world. I have found that this focuses primarily on Christian mysticism. As such, it has been less useful to my studies then I had anticipated it to be when I bought it.
