Description:
Concise and clear information about well-known and lesser-known mystics.

Mysticism is a phenomenon that seamlessly fits the needs of our time. Mystics know the experience of a direct contact with the source of our existence. They often point the way to unknown areas. That makes them and their experiences so fascinating and valuable.

Mysticism is a universal phenomenon, and is therefore not bound to a specific belief. This guide contains a concise overview of mystics and mystical movements, divided over the major world religions: from Jewish mysticism to Sufis and Islamic mysticism; from mysticism in Hindu and Buddhism to Christian and non-theological mysticism. In clear descriptions, the book explains mystical phenomena and people such as Atman/anatman, Moses de Leon, Rabi'a al-Adawiyya, Bernard of Clairvaux, Hildegard of Bingen, Meister Eckhart, Willem Rakel, Titus Brandsma, Dorothee S lle and others. Much attention is paid to mystics - men and women - from the Dutch language area.
