Book Reviews of Two Worlds Are Ours: An Introduction To Christian Mysticism
Book Review: MacQuarrie not a Mystic
Summary: 2 Stars
The fact that MacQuarrie informs the reader in his Introduction that he isn't a mystic and doesn't aspire to be one is a serious flaw of the book. He can never overcome his lack of union (enlightenment) with God in his analysis of the mystics and mysticism. His criticism of the mystics comes from his mythical consciousness without acknowledging the higher spiritual levels of the mystics. Sometimes MacQuarrie himself becomes the focus of the book, like when he discusses contemporary Merton as a mystic.
Readers interested in understanding Christian mysticism and developing their own consciousness would do much better if they study Dorothee Soelle's "Silent Cry".
