Summary: Worth reading again and again
Comment: I first read Fr. Johnston's book under the title 'Christian mysticism today' in 1984, and I have read it more than once since under the present title. It has had a strange attraction for me, even though I make no claim to being a mystic. The book is easy to read, not a textbook on mystical theology. This should make it suitable for a wide readership. However it does assume Christian faith and a certain intellectual maturity on the part of the reader; it is not a book for children. The author clearly points out the sources of Christian mysticism - sacred scripture read meditatively, the eucharist and the community. The author also deals with inner spiritual struggle and conflict. For all his emphasis on Christianity, however, the author also points out things like the relevance of the presence of a Zen temple on the Mount of Olives, and the relationship between the elevation of the eucharist and the mandala. Such things make the book comprehensive in outlook. The book contains a valuable illustration of the relationship between true (and false) mysticism and social activism, using Irish history as an example. Last but not least, the book mentions in places the role of the Virgin in Christian mysticism. All in all, a comprehensive study and highly recommended.
