Having fed on Clement's The Roots of Christian Mysticism and Three Prayers, I was delighted to discover this work.... [Clement] is at once contemporary, visionary, and thoroughly rooted in tradition. Reading him is a wonderful preparation for prayer.'

This short treatise offers a wonderful synthesis of systematic and mystical theology, though it may not satisfy Western theologians looking for more rigorous, philosophical grounding. Its evocative texture, peppered with wisdom from the patristic tradition, invites the reader to contemplative speculation. The English translation has a vigorous, poetic style that makes it highly readable.... The chapters on eros and human sexuality, on persons in communion, and on political theology ... are so rich that the reader will inevitably be drawn to Clement's earlier The Roots of Christian Mysticism.'
