She was one of the most prominent Anglo-Catholics of her generation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFascinated with the nature and meaning of mystical experiences from childhood, her classic works focused on the spiritual life. Yet as a disciple of Hugel, she came to value practical Christian service equally. For her, both the practical Martha and the mystical Mary were needed to offer perfect service to Christ. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer books continue to be widely read and studied and a thriving Evelyn Underhill Association keeps her memory and influence fully alive. Here are selected extracts from a wide variety of her writings—from her books and from less accessible sources—together with a valuable introduction and commentary. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hymns Ancient \u0026 Modern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153355292912,"sku":"9781848254268","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781848254268_p0.jpg?v=1763749855","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781848254268","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
