The Silent Cry

Mysticism And Resistance

BY DOROTHEE SOELLE, TRANSLATED BY BARBARA & MARTIN RUMSCHEIDT

Brief Description:
This major work from one of the world's best known and most widely read theologians explores the religious impulse of mysticism, the "silent cry" at the heart of all the world's religions. Soelle believes that the longing for God has never been more important than in this age of materialism and fundamentalism. The book is written in three parts: "What is Mysticism?," "Places of Mystical Experience," and "Mysticism is Resistance." Soelle references Quakers, Woolman and Fell in her exploration of a mysticism accessible to all.
