Man and the Supernatural. E-book. Formato EPUB Evelyn Underhill - Librorium Editions, 2024 -
I wish to write a book about the fundamentals of that which we usually call ‘religion’. Not about the varieties and peculiarities of individual ‘religious experience’; for these varieties and peculiarities seem to me to receive a degree of detailed attention entirely out of proportion to their importance. Hundreds of students of ‘religious psychology’ can now pass an examination in the phenomena of conversion or the degrees of prayer; but few have anything solid to say about that view of reality which the fact of conversion and practice of prayer require of us, and without which these things are meaningless.
MysticismA Study in Nature and Development of Spiritual Consciousness. E-book. Formato EPUB Evelyn Underhill - Librorium Editions, 2021 -
The most highly developed branches of the human family have in common one peculiar characteristic. They tend to produce—sporadically it is true, and often in the teeth of adverse external circumstances—a curious and definite type of personality; a type which refuses to be satisfied with that which other men call experience, and is inclined, in the words of its enemies, to "deny the world in order that it may find reality." We meet these persons in the east and the west; in the ancient, mediaeval, and modern worlds.
The Life of the Spirit and the Life of To-day. E-book. Formato EPUB Evelyn Underhill - Librorium Editions, 2021 -
This book owes its origin to the fact that in the autumn of 1921 the authorities of Manchester College, Oxford invited me to deliver the inaugural course of a lectureship in religion newly established under the will of the late Professor Upton. No conditions being attached to this appointment, it seemed a suitable opportunity to discuss, so far as possible in the language of the moment, some of the implicits which I believe to underlie human effort and achievement in the domain of the spiritual life. The material gathered for this purpose has now been added to, revised, and to some extent re-written, in order to make it appropriate to the purposes of the reader rather than the hearer.
