Читать книгу Abba - Evelyn Underhill - Страница 4

In these meditations those depths are explored with passionate intensity by an acknowledged expert in Christian mysticism. Both as a scholar of widely recognised academic distinction in her chosen field of study and as one of the leading conductors of Retreats in her day, Evelyn Underhill (1875—1941) proved to have an unusual gift for combining spiritual perception of a rare order and a deep sympathy with the human situation. These qualities are well illustrated in the eloquent work from which these extracts have been taken. They will be found to illuminate brilliantly the dark places encountered by the soul in its approach through prayer to the Majesty and Mystery of Almighty God.
