Religious Faith and Spiritual Experience

The book Mysticism and Sacred Scripture is summarised on infinibeam as follows:

This is the fourth volume in an influential series that presents a basic revaluation of the nature of mysticism. Each provides a collection of solicited papers by noted experts in the study of religion. This new volume will explore how the great mystics and mystical traditions use, interpret, and reconstruct the sacred scriptures of their traditions.

It is also the book that’s arriving next week from Amazon. I was lucky enough to have had Mysticism and Language prescribed for me to read last year. I found Katz’s work so inspiring I went on to purchase the rest of the series – Mysticism and Religious Tradition and Mysticism and Philosophical Analysis. A few weeks ago I found a second hand copy of the fourth book and promptly ordered it.

It may be one hell of an ugly book cover but I really can’t wait to get into it!
