The New Book: And Other Theologies

In The New Book, poet and theologian Jonathan Bratt Carle explores the significance of Christian mysticism as it pertains to belief in a Divine Being and the aspects of human awareness which transcend time and space. Is the universe a creation? If so, are human beings loved? If so, can this love heal us … transform us? To what end? Drawing on imagery from classic Christian mystics and thinkers such as Emily Dickinson, C. S. Lewis, and Fr. Thomas Keating, the author wrestles with his own meditative experience of the reality of God and the necessity of reconciling that reality with our human ways of being in the world. These poems invite the reader into their own reflections, hoping that paths may open toward new revelation.
