In order to achieve this, the author takes selected writings of Iris Murdoch, Denise Levertov and Annie Dillard, and incorporates them into various stages of a redesigned mystic way. The fourteenth-century mystic Julian of Norwich is invoked throughout as a role model whom these three writers seek to emulate as popular writers, contemplatives and theologians. As theologians who are concerned with the pressing issues of our age, Grace Jantzen, Dorothee Soelle and Sallie McFague are drawn on as conversation partners to complete the three-way discussion. The author maintains that understanding the writing and reading of creative texts in the context of practical mysticism facilitates an integrated approach to the use of literature for theological expression.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 225mmItem Length: 150mmItem Weight: 490gAuthor: Sue YoreGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Religions and DiscourseTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, Literary Criticism, Society & CultureContributor: James M.
