Part Three Spiritual Writers and Works : A Parallel between East and West. This section is historical and presents some of the main spiritual and chiefly mystical traditions from the West and the East. It opens with an exposition of mystical experience in the Christian tradition and is followed by a presentation of traditional Chinese cosmic and mystical ways. Although throughout this part, both Eastern and Western traditions will be constantly interwoven, the main emphasis will be laid on Christian experience. As we move with history we shall see how the mainstream of spiritual experience develops along similar and dissimilar lines. Taipei Ricci Institute, 1998 256 pages. 2.15MB
