The history of Christian Mysticism is a fascinating journey through the minds of the world's greatest thinkers, a journey which began over two thousand years ago, from the philosophers of the ancient world through to the mystics of the Middle Ages. This beautifully illustrated volume contains magnificent paintings, artefacts and stunning illuminated manuscripts. It also reveals the lives of such celebrated philosophers as Plato, St Paul and Julian of Norwich, explaining their work and their all-consuming quest for communion with the divine.
