Mystical Reflections on Sacred Scripture is a set of reflections on the Old Testament according to the four senses of Sacred Scripture (the Quadriga). This publication explores these four senses in order to demonstrate how the Old and New Testaments are beautifully intertwined, to increase love for Christ by finding Him in the Old Testament and to revive an appreciation for the various senses of Sacred Scripture. - From the introduction. "Michael Lofton has undertaken an ambitious work, fueled by the noblest desires. He wants to receive and understand the Holy Scriptures as they were received and understood by the early Christians. He wants to read the texts in the spirit in which they were written and preached. Thus he has taken up the Church's most ancient methods of reading the Bible. Now he wants us all to share the excitement of his discovery. He gives us his book not as a final word, but in order to lead us to a fresh beginning." - Mike Aquilina, author, The Fathers of the Church; The Mass of the Early Christians "Michael Lofton has given us a fine set of reflections on selected Scriptures that make use of the Church's tradition of the Four Senses of Scripture. Use it to come deeper into the heart of the word of God." - Mark P. Shea, author, Making Senses Out of Scripture: Reading the Bible as the First Christians Did

"Jean-Yves Leloup explores the writings of many spiritual masters from across the centuries, in particular the Desert Fathers, the fourth-century monk Evagrius, St. John Cassian, and the anonymous nineteenth-century author of The Way of the Pilgrim." "Drawn from the experience of the monasteries of Sinai and Mount Athos, here is a clear and practical presentation of the spiritual art of arts: stillness in the face of interior pain and confusion." "These spiritual riches, refined and developed by the Orthodox tradition in Christianity, can also be recognized in the teaching and practice of Buddhism, Hinduism and Islamic Sufism. The fundamental truth of one tradition is to be found under its own proper forms and nuances in others. Far from diminishing the unique value of this hesychastic way of prayer, the most developed spiritual traditions of humanity affirm it as one of the great forms through which humanity reaches out to embrace Infinite Reality."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
