Description

Exploring the religious impulse referred to as mysticism – the “silent cry” at the heart of the entire world’s religions. Mysticism, in the sense of a “longing for God,” has been present in all times, cultures, and religions. But Soelle believes it has never been more important than in this age of materialism and fundamentalism. The antiauthoritarian mystical element in every religion results in community of free spirits and resistance to the death-dealing aspects of our up to date culture. Religion in the third millennium, Soelle argues, either will be mystical or it’ll be dead. Subsequently, Soelle identifies strongly with the hunger of New Age searchers, but laments the religious fast food they devour. Today, one of those “democratized mysticism” of those without much religious background flourishes. This mystical experience isn’t drawn such a lot of the tradition as out of up to date experiences. In that sense, every of us is a mystic, and Soelle’s work seeks to give theological depth, clarity, and direction. This, her magnum opus, conjoins Soelle’s deep religious knowledge and wisdom with her passion for social justice into a work destined to be a classic of religious literature.
