A naturalist and astronomer writes of a “knowing of God” which comes from his mystical experiences of nature.

In this lovely rich pamphlet, Walker writes of his own mystical experiences and what he feels he has come to know. They are fascinating, beautiful, and profound, bespeaking a way of knowing from deep stillness that is totally different from, though not incompatible with, our scientific way. (Walker is a scientist, an astronomer.) It's a fascinating contrast from an argument for scientific atheism. His experiences also illustrate how mystical experience seems to have both universal content and particularity to the individual. ( )
