William Johnston Bücher

Focusing on contemporary mysticism, this book positions it as essential to genuine religious experience. It serves as both a theological exploration and a practical meditation guide, leading readers toward profound, oceanic experiences through their practice.

"Haunting color photographs and evocative essays document a decade-long collaboration between performance artist Eiko Otake and photographer and historian William Johnston, who have visited the surreal, irradiated landscapes of post-nuclear meltdown Fukushima, Japan"--

From the earliest centuries there has existed a Christian theology of mysticism, defining the state which Bernard Lonergan called a "being in love with God." St. John of the Cross wrote such a theology for the sixteenth century, calling it "the science of love." Now, William Johnston, one of the great spiritual writers of our time, attempts to do the same for the twenty-first century.
