Prayer Theology

St. Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274), one of the greatest philosophical minds of the church, has left us no formal treatise on mystical theology. Instead, his teachings on this subject have been collected from his various works. No such synthesis has been attempted in this book. Rather the editor has simply taken from the Summa Theologica the treatises on religion, on devotion, prayer, and the contemplative life, and presented them in an English dress.

What if much of Christianity’s anxiety does not come from believing too little—but from seeing God too dimly? In A Deo Lumen: Essays on Holiness, Prayer, Freedom, and Love, Rev. Dr. Peter A.

Many, however, because of the profit they received in reading the manuscript, wished to obtain copies, and, on this account alone, it was committed to the press.

This book is not linear, yet it has a goal—awakening to the mystical depth of life. My path to that depth has not been direct, since it has been marked by detours, backslidings, awakenings, disappointments, dark nights of the soul, and golden mountaintop mornings. I have responded to all of this with words: poems, journal entries, manifestos, aphorisms, and the first pages of numerous started but not finished articles and books (as well as published articles and books). This book is a gathering of many of these unpublished attempts to describe countless moments of elation, surprise, ...
