Discover the core of the Christian spiritual experience. Newman compared the early history of the Church to the opening chords of a symphony, when the subjects that will later be brought out one by one are introduced all together in a concentrated burst of creativity. Here, Clement takes these opening chords as a starting point for a voyage of discovery that brings us to the origins of Christian faith, life, and prayer as a whole. This anthology combines brilliantly chosen texts from the first seven centuries of Christianity with the author's vivid commentary to reveal the roots of Christian mysticism.
