註釋
The heart of the Christian faith is a direct encounter with God so profound that it can be referred to as
union.
It is an experience that cannot be described in words, but it
can
be glimpsed--in the radiant lives of the men and women called mystics. Here James Harpur presents the stories of some of the most influential Christian mystics from the past two thousand years. He provides their historical and ecclesiastical contexts, as well as appreciations of the unique contributions of each of them to the ongoing articulation of the way of love and union.
