{"product_id":"if-only-we-could-see-gary-commins-9781625644954","title":"If Only We Could See: Mystical Vision and Social Transformation","description":"This analytical, polemical, and personal book creates a lively interaction between mysticism and activism. Looking beyond superficial links between spirituality and justice, it creates an in-depth engagement of mysticism as an inner revolution and activism as a mirroring socioeconomic transfiguration. Based on the twin premises of the mystical tradition and Social Gospel-liberation theology that those who experience God in prayer or engage in social action ought to be our primary theologians, it examines what these two traditions say about theology, to each other, and to us. The broad synthesis that results from this fascinating dialogue brings new insights into mysticism, activism, theology, and ethics, and casts a unique light on how we pray and live. If Only We Could See brings together a wealth of spiritual material from the early Desert, medieval mystics, and modern spiritual writers alongside an equally rich resource of abolitionists, anti-apartheid activists, civil rights leaders, nonviolent change agents, and peacemakers. The results yield valuable insights for a theology that challenges every personal and political status quo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Commins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1625644957\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625644954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Gary Commins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485689065727,"sku":"9781625644954","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efb84913-23f1-4e82-97b1-47b04797f9a5.jpg?v=1778050911","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/if-only-we-could-see-gary-commins-9781625644954","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
