Specificatii
Margaret Cropper was the first to capture Evelyn Underhill's] life,
which now in this new century can continue to inspire, challenge
and point the way for those on the ancient quest for the
holy.--from the Foreword by Dana Greene, dean of Oxford College of
Emory UniversitySkyLight Lives reintroduces the lives and works of
key spiritual figures of our time--people who by their teaching or
example have challenged our assumptions about spirituality and have
caused us to look at it in new ways.Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941)
was one of the most highly acclaimed spiritual thinkers of her day.
Her fresh approach to mysticism provided one of the first
invitations to modern seekers to realize that not only saints or
great holy men could experience the love of God--but that all
people contain within them a capacity for the Divine.This intimate
biography, written by one of Underhill's closest friends, allows us
to appreciate this revolutionary woman as both a charming,
down-to-earth friend and a groundbreaking spiritual seeker and
guide.Through letters, personal reminiscences, and excerpts from
Underhill's much-loved published writings--including her definitive
Mysticism, published in 1911 and continuously in print since
then--Margaret Cropper captures the spirit, journey and wisdom of
one of the most influential women of the early twentieth
century.Updated with a new foreword by Dana Greene, dean of Oxford
College of Emory University, this intriguing spiritual portrait
includes a brief memoir of Lucy Menzies, one of Underhill's closest
confidants, highlighting their remarkable relationship.This
biography of Evelyn Underhill, one of the greatest spiritual
thinkers of the early twentieth century, guides readers on a voyage
through her life and a survey of her spiritual classics that would
forever bring the Divine into the everyday for countless people.A
passionate writer and teacher who wrote elegantly on mysticism,
worship and devotional life, Evelyn Underhill urged the integration
of personal spirituality and worldly action. This is the moving
story of how she made her way toward spiritual maturity, from her
early days of agnosticism to the years when her influence was felt
throughout the world.An early believer that contemplative prayer is
not just for monks and nuns but for anyone willing to undertake it,
Underhill considered the study of modern science not as a threat to
contemplation but rather an enhancement of it. Her many lectures
and writings on mysticism and spirituality, including her classic
Mysticism: A Study in the Nature and Development of Man's Spiritual
Consciousness, inspired the many people touched by her unique
passion to take on a spiritual life.
