Entering the Twofold Mystery by Fr Erik Varden
A book about the insight, comfort, and direction our troubled age can find in monastic wisdom.
I have little doubt that this will also become a spiritual bestseller following on from his previous much acclaimed book, The Shattering of Loneliness -- Dominic Walker * Church Times *
Varden's work is the fruit from a tree for the healing of the nations, from a monk who has his feet firmly and incarnationally on the ground. * Lutheran Theological Journal *
[Erik’s] homilies are accessible – written in clear, standard English – but rich, sometimes breathtakingly, in their content. * Catholic Herald *
These [homilies] are as bracing and enlivening for the reader as they will have been for the congregations who heard them … Varden’s combination of extensive learning, passionate engagement with the history and demandingness of Christian life, and the sharp focus of a keen mind, make his preaching something from which many will benefit. * The Tablet *
Varden’s erudition in this edifying work of Catholic monasticism should earn him comparisons to Edith Stein. * Publishers Weekly *
