Description: In John Yungblut: Passing the Mystical Torch, Charlie Finn unveils the faith and vision of John Yungblut. At the heart of this story, readers will discover a spiritual "genealogy": Rufus Jones, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and Carl Jung, who influenced John Yungblut, who became a spiritual guide and friend to Charlie Finn. For John Yungblut, mysticism was the "heart and core of all true religion." Yungblut's gospel of evolutionary Christianity, underscoring the call for contemplatives in action, first caught Finn's attention as he read, by chance one evening, Yungblut's contributions to the book Speaking of Silence, a dialogue about contemplative life. -- Publisher's description.
