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.

The author begins by addressing how the mystic heritage of Christianity became en vogue in the 20th and early 21st centuries. He then looks at many of the antecedents of mysticism in the Greco-Roman world and in the earliest Christianity. He then talked about the inward life, apophatic theology, the contemplative tradition, and lectio divina, highlighting the major mystic figures of late antiquity and the medieval world.
A helpful and well historically grounded introduction to the more mystic side of Christianity, the interest within it, and the vitality it can help to maintain.
