Synopsis "The School of Charity: Meditations on the Christian Creed"

2015 Reprint of 1934 Printing. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In this little book, which is based upon the principal articles of the Nicene Creed, Underhill to suggested to the modern Christian how close the connection is between the great doctrines of his religion and that "inner life" which is too often regarded as a more spiritual alternative to orthodoxy: how rich and splendid is the Christian account of reality, and how much food it has to offer to the contemplative soul. These meditations were originally presented at a retreat she conducted at her beloved Pleshy, a small village in England that was the site of her conversion to the Christian faith. The renewed interest in mysticism and spirituality today among Christians of all communions draws heavily from her work. Contents: PART ONE: I Believe; One God, Creator; One Lord PART TWO: Incarnate; Crucified; Glorified PART THREE: Spirit; Church; The World to Come

Nació en Wolverhampton, Inglaterra, en 1875. Recibió una esmerada educación privada y asistió al King´s College para mujeres (Londres), donde estudió letras, historia, botánica y filosofía. Crecida en el agnosticismo, en 1907, durante una breve estancia en un convento franciscano, tiene lugar su conversión espiritual. A pesar de estar convencida de que la religión católica era la verdadera, diversas circunstancias impiden su adhesión a la Iglesia católica, y en 1921 optará finalmente por una pertenencia practicante al anglicanismo. En 1911, a raíz de la preparación y publicación de su obra fundamental La mística, conoce al barón Friedrich von Hügel, al que convertirá en su director espiritual; él influirá grandemente en su pensamiento y en su práctica religiosa. Repartió su actividad entre la escritura y la vida de devoción, asumiendo la dirección de retiros e impartiendo charlas y conferencias, dedicaciones que harán de ella unas de las maestras espirituales más importantes de su tiempo.

Autora de tres novelas y dos libros de poemas, destacan sus trabajos sobre mística y espiritualidad, que comprenden ediciones y comentarios de místicos y obras clásicas como Ruysbroeck, Walter Hilton, La Nube del no Saber o La Escala de Perfección. Entre sus numerosos libros cabe mencionar The Mystic Way: A Psychological Study in Christian Origins (1913), The Life of the Spirit and the Life of Today (1922), The Mystics of the Church (1925), Worship (1936), La práctica del misticismo (2015) y La mística (2ª edición en 2016), publicados en esta editorial.
