Mark McLeod-Harrison draws on his training in analytic philosophy and his knowledge of Christian mysticism to provide a compelling analysis of, and unique solution to, the problem religious diversity poses for Christians. In Repairing Eden, McLeod-Harrison describes this dilemma as an existential problem internal to the Christian faith. He suggests that Christian humility and Christian mysticism can provide a joint path toward a kind of metaphysical certainty - the mystic path, the path of bearing one's own cross - that can become a means of more deeply knowing God. Repairing Eden weaves theology, philosophy, and pastoral concerns into a spiritual-philosophical solution to a deeply important challenge to Christian faith. 606 $aChristianity and other religions 606 $aHumility$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aMysticism 606 $aReligious pluralism 615 0$aChristianity and other religions. 615 0$aHumility$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aMysticism. 615 0$aReligious pluralism. 676 $a261.2 700 $aMcLeod-Harrison$b Mark S.$f1956-$01613436 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819940503321 996 $aRepairing Eden$94068014 997 $aUNINA
