{"product_id":"9781438414843","title":"Mysticism, Death and Dying","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book charts the borderline between the nocturnal side of mysticism and the luminous side of death and it illuminates their paradoxical affinities. Within a culture of both denial and despair, it affirms the reality but not the finality of death. If what the generations have called the mystery of death is “the last enemy,” a still more mysterious mysticism would anticipate, illuminate and disarm it, issuing in what “eyes have not seen, ears have not heard.” This work is contemporary in that it represents a creative and original appropriation of tradition, is spiritually more mystical than devotional—and is ecumenically conversant with and sensitive to the great religious traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134465229040,"sku":"9781438414843","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781438414843_p0.jpg?v=1763754095","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781438414843","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
