Book Summary
Seven insightful perspectives on meditation in Christianity are offered in this collection of essays written by both Easterners and Westerners. Several of the essays focus on clearly establishing the similarity of Christian meditation to Eastern traditions. The remaining essays reveal valuable perspectives and little-known information on major issues in Christian meditation, such as Christ's teachings on it, the influence of Hesychasm, the role of meditation in Christian monasticism, and the concept of prayer in Christian meditation. Two of the authors have practiced meditation from the days of their early childhood; the others have a more recent introduction to its practice but have early Christian roots upon which to base their views. The blending of the two groups forms a complete and unique picture of Christian meditation. Those who wish to practice meditation and maintain an active Christian affiliation will find here ample reassurance that the two traditions are compatible and complementary.
