We must be mystics. The early Israelites -- The birth of the Bible -- The Ancient Greeks -- The Athenian Moses -- The secret kingdom -- Christ consciousness -- Christianity's high noon -- Reform and science -- We must be mystics.
Summary:
Mark Vernon uses this startling insight to tell the inner story of 3000 years of Christianity, beginning from the earliest Biblical times. Drawing, too, on the latest scholarship and spiritual questions of our day, he presents a gripping account of how Christianity constellated a new perception of what it is to be human. For 1500 years, this sense of things informed many lives, though it fell into crisis with the Reformation, scientific revolution and Enlightenment.
