Mysticism in the 21St Century

A mystic tradition can be considered a path or school of spirituality in which ones seeks a direct, personal experience of the Divine Presence - in whatever form that may be - without barriers or intermediaries. In "Mysticism in the 21st Century" (2nd ed.), Monette examines eight contemporary spiritual movements: Traditional African, Buddhism, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, Sufism, Tantra, Witchcraft, and Yoga, providing the reader with an introduction to this branch of the study of religion. In additional to detailed notes, each chapter also includes recommended reading lists for further study, online sources, and review questions at the end of each chapter. With contribution by Professor John Shoup, and Foreword by Dr. Robert Svoboda.
