Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Beyond the Darkness. A Biography of Bede Griffiths. Waterstain mark to top edge of front inside cover. At Oxford in the 1920s Bede Griffith was a contemporary of Grahame Green and a close friend of C. S. Lewis. He became a Benedictine monk and, in 1995, went to India where he built up a trhiving spiritual community at Shantivanam in Tamil Nadu, which was later visited by thousands. Bede Griffiths was convinced that Eastern and Western religions were mutually enriching and he was open to all paths by which people seek God. His interests encompassed not only Christian mysticism, Hinduism and Buddhism but also New Age movements and the meeting point of religion and science. His spirituality and his emphasis on meditation hold great appeal today, especially for young people and for those who seek God but cannot find him in traditional churches. Illustrated. 340 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
