Annotation |
Bowie begins with a brief overview of what she considers to be the difference between truly mystical as opposed to paranormal events, giving examples from the Christian tradition to illustrate her point. She then turns to briefly discuss the lives and experiences of Etty Hillesum and Simone Weil as two examples of the 'mystical life'. |
