The Mystic Way A Psychological Study in Christian Origins
About this book
Evelyn Underhill's The Mystic Way is a profound psychological and theological study of Christian mysticism and its transformative stages. Drawing from mystics such as St. John of the Cross and Meister Eckhart, Underhill traces the path of spiritual awakening through illumination, purification, dark night, and union with the divine. She presents mysticism not as escapism, but as a deeply engaged and disciplined inner journey that leads to greater moral awareness and active love. Written with poetic elegance and intellectual rigor, The Mystic Way bridges scholarly insight with spiritual depth. It remains a landmark text for students of mysticism, religious experience, and Christian spirituality.
