About this Book

In the belief that religious experience is the starting point of theological reconstruction, Evelyn Underhill analyses the characteristics, principles and nature of how man relates to God. The way and degree in which ritual, symbol, sacrament and sacrifice become part of worship is also examined and, subsequently, its principles are illustrated, as embodied in the varieties of Judaeo-Christian faith.

With a foreword by Christopher Armstrong.
