"""Peter Stilla calls the church back to its mystical heritage if it is to experience reawakening. Here is an articulate case that rather than hunker down into orthodoxy and fundamentalism, we need to experience the panentheism, the cosmic consciousness that Jesus, Paul, Meister Eckhart, Matthew Fox, Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, Michael Pollan, Sri Ramana Maharshi, and the process theologians offer. Excellent section on Buddhist meditation/mindfulness. This is a strong, biblically-based case for Christian universalism."" --Paul D. Sanderson, clinical psychologist ""Peter Stilla's book is not just a good introduction to the ancient mystical tradition that was central to Christian experience in its early centuries; nor is it just a helpful text to see how the multiple religions can be reconciled with each other and with science as well. It's also a gentle guide for each reader into a deeper inner awareness of the divine, whether through nature, meditation, or experience of the Christ. Highly recommended!"" --Philip Clayton, professor of theology, Claremont School of Theology"
