Charmingly and conversationally written, but also rich in nuance and thorough in its coverage and its attention to detail, The Big Book is, as its name suggests, a big … even an enormous … contribution to our current literature on the subject. Highly recommended.

The Big Book of Christian Mysticism is truly a work of art as well as a spiritual guide. I highly recommend this book not only for general readers, but also for undergraduate or graduate students who need an introduction to Christian mysticism.
