Insights into Christian Esotericism
René Guenon (1886-1951) was a leading French metaphysician in the fields of esotericism, symbolism and the comparative study of religions. This collection brings together a number of studies on the subject of Christian esotericism. The Christianity it evokes is not that of the esotericists, who stop at the notion of the great initiate for Christ, nor that of the Protestants, but the Christianity of the apostolic churches.
REVIEW QUOTES:
“Apart from the style of writing, which has aged badly and whose lightness is not the primary quality, this work (like all those of the author) contains a mine of doors and walkways towards the esoteric understanding of what surrounds us and here what seems to us to be Christianity.
We are far from the Da Vinci Code of course, but what Guénon once again wrote here is more like a revelation than a mere glimpse.
Initiation, grail, Dante nothing escapes the master’s analytical eye for our greatest reflection.” – gcj’s Reviews – Amazon.com
“Some later essays by Guenon, mostly in the form of longer book reviews. The first sections are more stuff on Dante and Fedli d’Amore, specifically responding to a text published at the time on the topic- these were fairly interesting for us, though mostly in the way that Guenon reiterated his more characteristic points in responding to the text he is critiquing. The later portions were on the grail legends, and these were of more interest to us- probably the best statements on the Holy Grail topic that Guenon wrote, perhaps more comprehensive than those in Symbols of Sacred Science.” – no.stache.nietzsche’s Reviews – Goodreads
