Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

By reading the Gospel of John as a mystical text and hearing the words of Jesus as mystical language we discover an ancient spirituality that is consistent with modern science and helpful for interfaith dialogue. In John's Gospel Jesus escapes capture ten times and corrects literal reception of his language eleven times. These patterns along with John's emphasis on the inner Presence and the divine desire for Oneness show a mystical approach to faith. Embracing Jesus' mystical, metaphorical language enables one to develop a 'mystical mindset' for living in the 21st century. The perception of separateness from God and one another is corrected by this fresh reading of John's Gospel along with the mystics of the Christian tradition as well as other spiritual traditions.
