Mysticism: The Experience of the Divine by Chronicle Books is a stunningly illustrated introduction to medieval Christian mysticism. With insights from Oxford scholar Jeremy Catto, the book traces the spiritual journeys of early seekers—from the Desert Fathers to Meister Eckhart and St. Francis of Assisi—who pursued personal union with the divine outside the confines of the institutional Church. Often misunderstood and even persecuted, these mystics left behind a rich legacy of spiritual wisdom. Featuring authentic medieval artwork, this volume is a captivating exploration of faith, solitude, and transcendence.
