Paul the Mystic - A Study in Apostolic Experience #261574

A spiritual aim which led him frequently to stop short in an argument and make his appeal from logic to life. The movement of his mind was towards the centre. The truths which he valued, and upon which his spirit fed, were those which were mystical and vital. Out of the deep well of his mystical experience flows a stream which makes glad the city of God. At a time when there is a revival of interest in the subject of mysticism, a study of this neglected side of Paul's experience, and of the teaching which grew out of it, is certainly timely; and if reverently pursued it can hardly fail to lead to the deepening of the spiritual life.
