In No Strange Land: The Embodied Mysticism of Saint Philip Neri by Jonathan Robinson
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 988 KB
Overview: In No Strange Land illuminates the richness of mysticism–in the life of Philip Neri–as an “experience of the activity of God.” The life of the Apostle of Rome demonstrates that it is primarily people, not arguments, that reveal the mysteries of God. Philip’s experience of God, his mysticism, was given him for the sake of others. Furthermore, that experience itself was embodied; that is to say awakened, nourished, and brought to fruition within the religious tradition into which he was born, and from which he lived–in particular the Church of Renaissance Florence and Rome, with its own particular appropriation of Christianity. It is this sacramental life that places mysticism beyond the merely private and esoteric, and allows for the mystic, in Newman’s phrase, “to use this world well.”
