Description

The mystical way has largely been lost as an option within mainstream Christian life. Believers today need to retrieve a spiritual life of great depth to remain faithful in a world marked by moral and social disintegration. Melvyn Matthews argues that mysticism, often misunderstood as a private experience limited to the few, offers a way back to the 'starlit darkness' where we can truly see. This retrieval of the mystical way's twin strands - the negative and the affirmative - will deepen the integrity and credibility of evangelistic work within the Church. By affirming God as the source of all being, 'Both Alike to Thee' gives us a vision of the Church as a place where we can step into his 'deep and dazzling darkness' with love and confidence.
