- First published1911
- TraditionGnosticism
- Shelf132 books
Evelyn Underhill's influential 1911 study of mysticism as a universal dimension of spiritual life, drawing primarily on Christian mystics but also on wider sources. The first part considers the nature of mysticism in relation to philosophy, psychology, theology and magic; the second describes the mystic way through stages such as awakening, purification, illumination, the dark night and union. It remains a standard reference for the comparative study of mystical experience.
