Wisdom from the Christian Mystics by David Torkington
When Quietism was condemned in 1687 it resulted in an antipathy, if not an open hostility to authentic mystical theology. This situation has lasted down to the present day and has been aggravated by many forms of counterfeit mysticism that are self-centred, not God-centred. The consequences have been disastrous. To restore the balance lost to Christian spirituality, the author returns to the profound mystical teaching that Jesus himself lived and handed on to the early Church through his disciples. His research has resulted in a book that details a practical daily spirituality for all, that mirrors that which was lived by our earliest Christian forebears. It emphasises the original balance between personal and communal prayer in such a way that our whole lives become the place where we continually offer our lives through Christ to the Father.
David Torkington is a Spiritual Theologian, best-selling author and speaker who specializes in Prayer, Christian Spirituality and Mystical Theology. He was educated at the Franciscan Study Centre and the National Catholic Radio and Television Centre. David lives in the south of England.
