Synopsis
Simone Weil remains one of the most fascinating figures in twentieth century religious thought. A French philosopher, activist, and mystic, she repeatedly sought to enter into the world of workers and the poor. Though her mystical experiences brought her to the threshold of the Catholic church, she chose not to enter. Through the introduction by Eric O. Springsted and his selection of her writings, this volume offers an effective entry to her life and thought.

Paper Back. Condition: New. It's likely the men and women introduced in this series would not call themselves ''Modern Spiritual Masters,'' yet there's no doubt their lives, their work and their words have acted as both companion and guide to many a modern seeker of truth. As readers we enter the community of faith each time we pick up a good book, transcending the boundaries of space and time through our interaction with the writer and his vision. The authors represented here are part of that larger community -- their words are ways toward communion and grace, even friendship. Along with selections from their writings, the books in this series include helpful (and rather absorbing) introductions that relate the special influence each has had on contemporary spirituality through the particular struggles presented by the twentieth century. With that, we had best let them speak for themselves. Seller Inventory # 10902
