The quotes chosen by Matthew Fox are the sort of "bites" that suit the modern short attention span but also lead to extended cogitation and meditation. I especially love his quote from the Dalai Lama: "The number one obstacle to interfaith is a bad relationship with one's own faith tradition." This book is taking me into the deep places in my own heart and tradition. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

HTML: As Matthew Fox notes, when an aging Albert Einstein was asked if he had any regrets, he replied, "I wish I had read more of the mystics earlier in my life." The 365 writings in Christian Mystics represent a wide-ranging sampling of these readings for modern-day seekers of all faiths â?? or no faith. Fox is uniquely qualified to comment on these profound, sometimes startling, often denounced insights. In 1998, this longtime member of the Dominican Order was silenced by Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict, for his Creation Spirituality, an ecumenical teaching that embraces gender justice, social justice, and eco-justice. The daily readings he shares here speak to the sacredness of the earth, awe and gratitude, darkness and shadow, compassion and creativity, sacred sexuality, and peacemaking.

Alas, his "commentaries" on the excerpted quotes of various mystics are little more than restatements, and the selected quotes didn't appeal to me. I gave up after a week or so of sampling the book every day.
And on a logistical note, I expected 365 readings to be labelled by month and day, not by day number. Sheesh, I had to do math in order to figure out which entry corresponded to today's date. ( )
