The Mystic Way:

A Psychological Study in Christian Origins

Evelyn Underhill

pub J.M. Dent, 1913

Evelun Underhill [The Mystic Way is a book that Underhill to some extent moved back from following its publication. (See Preface to the 12th ed of Mysticism for her remarks on Vitalism.) Unlike Mysticism, it was never republished in her lifetime. For all that, in its unashamed declaration that mystics comprise the true Church, the small flock, the leaven, it is quite a revolutionary work for its time. DCW]
