Klappentext

Drawing on the rich resources of Christianity, including its oft-neglected esoteric streams, Meditations on the Tarot glows with the radiance of contemplation enriched by the sacramental life found in the Corpus mysticum. Published now with an extended table of contents, supplementary material, recently discovered early notes, and an exhaustive index, the Angelico Press edition of this spiritual classic, which has drawn boundless praise, is a priceless gift for today’s spiritual seekers. "A thinking, praying Christian of unmistakable purity leads us meditatively into the deeper, all-embracing wisdom of the Catholic Mystery." Hans Urs von Balthasar "Meditations on the Tarot helps us see that the future of orthodoxy and above all its metaphysical coherence, may depend upon a new engagement with Sophiology, theurgic Neoplatonism, and Hermeticism." John Milbank "These Letters lead us to a deeper level of seeing, a seeing of primal phenomena and similarities." Robert Spaemann "Meditations on the Tarot shows that Christianity has not been lost, but lives and breathes." Stratford Caldecott "The book begs not only to be studied cover to cover, but also to be savored, meditated upon and assimilated into one’s life." Richard W. Kropf, National Catholic Reporter "Meditations on the Tarot has been a constant source of spiritual renewal and companionship." Michael Martin "The anonymous author’s recovery of Christian Hermeticism is quite simply manna in the desert." Therese Schroeder-Sheker "It is without doubt the most extraordinary work I have ever read. It has tremendous spiritual depth and insight." Trappist abbot Basil Pennington, OCSO "This book, in my view, is the greatest contribution to date toward the rediscovery and renewal of the Christian contemplative tradition of the Fathers of the Church and the High Middle Ages." Trappist abbot Thomas Keating, OCSO
