Mysticism Book Group

Christian Classics Ethereal Library is sponsoring an online mysticism book group called Mysticism: Theory and History, facilitated by Carl McColman.

Participants of this book discussion group will be unpacking the great tradition of Christian mystical wisdom: understanding its history, looking at how it developed, and identifying the key themes and teachings. We will do this by getting to know the Great Mystics of the past, by reading the words of the mystics themselves and prayerfully reflecting on their wisdom. We started in May 2008 with Julian of Norwich's classic text, Revelations of Divine Love. New members are welcome to join at any time.

To join the book group, click here. If you haven't done so already, you'll need to register a free user account with CCEL.
