Are you searching for a fresh and creative approach to your faith? Then this book is for you.

Karl Rahner wrote that the “…Christian of the future will be a mystic or he will not exist at all”. Increasing numbers of Christians, and Christian theologians, are starting to recognise how important a lived experience of the mystery of Jesus Christ is in finding true life, and in doing sound theology. Bede Griffiths, a Benedictine Monk who was educated at Oxford and spent most of his life adapting his Christian faith to the culture and philosophy of India, came to embody the depth and riches of mystical spirituality in his life and teaching. His integrated approach to spiritual living has helped many people to discover, and rediscover, the rich experience of being truly and fully alive in Christ.

This book examines the elements that made Fr Bede’s spirituality so significant. It discusses his understanding of the Person, nature, and work of Christ from a mystical and spiritual perspective. Fr Bede’s Christology is informed by such varied sources as the Catholic Christian tradition, Indian philosophy, Hindu religion, quantum physics, transpersonal psychology, micro-biology, and the perennial philosophy. This book is a valuable resource for persons who seek to deepen their relationship with God and foster fresh and creative ways of expressing that spirituality in their everyday lives. It also has a great deal to offer the more serious theological mind through the discussions on experiential theological methodologies and the challenging new vocabulary and approach to Christology.

Have you ever asked questions about the relationship between Christianity and other religions? What about the relationship between religion and science?

This book tackles these topics with creativity and insight, offering a fresh approach to mystical, Christ centered, spirituality that overcomes the false dualisms of contemporary western culture.

Truly an inspiration!
