Eight lectures delivered at Oxford in 1899 by the scholar later known as the gloomy Dean of St Paul’s. Inge defines mysticism, traces its roots in Platonism and the New Testament, and follows it through Dionysius, the medieval contemplatives, Eckhart, Tauler and the German school, the English mystics and the nature-mysticism of the poets, with appendices on key terms.
A foundational English study of the subject, still cited and still readable, for anyone drawn to contemplative Christianity. Download the free EPUB.
