Although she died cruelly at Auschwitz at the age of twenty-nine, Etty Hillesum left a lasting legacy of mystical thought in her letters and diaries. Coetsier analyzes the life and writings of Hillesum from the standpoint of Voegelin's views on consciousness--especially his philosophy of luminous participation in the transcendent ground of being. Through a careful reading of her letters and diaries, Coetsier reveals the inner development of Hillesum's mystically grounded resistance to Nazism as he guides readers through the symbolism of her spiritual journey, making effective use of Voegelin's analytics of experience and symbolization to trace her path to spiritual truth.

A deeply moving account of Etty Hillesum's life and spiritual journey, beautifully written and researched. The book brings a new depth and understanding to Etty's life and spiritual transendence. Coetsier analyses Etty's life and writings from the standpoint of Voegelin's theories on consciousness and transcendence. One feels as if one is reading extracts from the journals for the first time. Beautiful tribute to Etty Hillesum.
