Synopsis
Excerpt from Christian Mysticism: Considered in Eight Lectures, Delivered Before the University of Oxford
"Also I direct and appoint, that the eight Divinity Lecture Sermons shall be preached upon either of the following Subjects - to confirm and establish the Christian Faith, and to confute all heretics and schismatics - upon the Divine authority of the Holy Scriptures - upon the authority of the writings of the primitive Fathers, as to the faith and practice of the primitive Church - upon the Divinity of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ - upon the Divinity of the Holy Ghost - upon the Articles of the Christian Faith, as comprehended in the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds.
"Also I direct that thirty copies of the eight Divinity Lecture Sermons shall be always printed within two months after they are preached; and one copy shall be given to the Chancellor of the University, and one copy to the head of every College, and one copy to the Mayor of the City of Oxford, and one copy to be put into the Bodleian Library; and the expense of printing them shall be paid out of the revenue of the Land or Estates given for establishing the Divinity Lecture Sermons; and the Preacher shall not be paid, nor entitled to the revenue, before they are printed.
"Also I direct and appoint, that no person shall be qualified to preach the Divinity Lecture Sermons, unless he hath taken the degree of Master of Arts at least, in one of the two Universities of Oxford or Cambridge; and that the same person shall never preach the Divinity Lecture Sermons twice."

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Christian Mysticism delves into the historical and philosophical underpinnings of profound spiritual experiences. The author traces the evolution of mysticism from its origins in ancient Greek religious practices to its profound influence on Christianity. Along the way, the book illuminates key concepts such as the stages of spiritual awakening and the interplay between human consciousness and the divine realm. By analyzing the writings of influential Christian mystics, the author unveils the transformative journey of the soul towards union with God. The book explores the tension between God's absolute nature and the existence of evil, highlighting the diverse ways mystics have grappled with this philosophical conundrum. The author emphasizes the role of intuition and love in the mystical experience, while also cautioning against the allure of ecstatic visions and supernaturalism that can detract from the genuine pursuit of spiritual growth. Ultimately, this book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking examination of the enduring quest for spiritual transcendence and the transformative power of communion with the divine.
