Contraportada
"Any undergraduate or general reader who wishes to take his or her first steps in learning about Christian mysticism can do no better than to read Baxter's remarkable, clear, and thorough Introduction to Christian Mysticism."
--Kevin Hart, University of Virginia
"Baxter gives us Christian mysticism undomesticated--bold, inflamed, insistent, pushing to the very boundaries of speech, and communing with God beyond every merely human mode of communication. He reminds us that lectio divina is not merely pious but wild, and that yearning for God cannot be kept politely fenced in. He does this while showing that the greatest mystics were not anti-intellectual but rather wrote and prayed with a powerfully intelligent faith, grounded firmly in divine revelation in Christ."
--Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary
"Tracing the mystic experiences of God from the pagans to Julian of Norwich and Nicholas of Cusa, Baxter reorients us to the tradition that we lost after the Reformation and the Enlightenment. To read this book is to be lit up again by our bright, burning, wild, and unfathomable God."
--Jessica Hooten Wilson, University of Dallas
"A wise man once quipped that mysticism begins in mist and ends in schism. This is true of those mystics who endeavor to divorce faith from reason but not of those profoundly orthodox mystics who have enlightened and enlivened the Christian faith with their mystical encounters with the Divine. In this invaluable volume, Baxter guides us into the realm of ineffable wisdom."
--Joseph Pearce, Augustine Institute
"Baxter competently and convincingly shows that mysticism is not only a viable and venerable Christian concept but one that needs to be recovered in the contemporary church. With ease he introduces his readers to the 'greatest hits' of the early and medieval Christian mystical tradition. As an introduction to a frequently neglected topic, this book goes a long way in making 'mysticism' part of our daily theological vocabulary."
--Greg Peters, Biola University and Nashotah House Theological Seminary

Sobre el autor

Jason M. Baxter is Director of the Center for Beauty and Culture at Benedictine College. He writes on the relevance of medieval thought and literature, especially, C.S. Lewis and Dante. In his popular writing (on his Substack, Beauty Matters), he talks about the arts, travel and literature, technology and humanism, science and culture, and modernity in light of the ancient world.

Just two critiques. First, I think Meister Echkart's theology deserves a more rigorous critique. Baxter goes a little too easy on the Meister Man. Second (and I guess this is a backhand compliment), the book is too short. On the other hand, his title is clear that this is only introduction.
But within his 190 pages (including an array of helpful notes for additional reading), Baxter convinced me that mysticism (1) can be deeply rooted in the Great Tradition of Christian faith, (2) flows out of holiness of life and spiritual disciplines, (3) is intellectually deep and richly affective (the exploration of this word is worth the price of the book!), and (4) is a valuable and "wild" (Baxter's great word) stream of Christian spirituality that can be of great help for our contemporary spiritual shallowness. Highly recommended!
Good for small groups or a classroom setting. Left me wanting to look a few up for more learning.
