Description
"In Silence is an inquiry into the meaning, nature, history, quality, and effects of prayer, and considers particularly the various types of prayer that have engaged pilgrims of the spirit throughout the ages: prayer as petition, as forgiveness, as an expression of suffering, as abandonment, as serenity, as loving, as transformation, and as silence. It likewise considers the role of prayer in a number of different religions, both Western and Eastern, drawing upon the work of commentators who have written compellingly on the subject, including the compiler of the Book of Psalms, Augustine, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Maimonides, Rumi, John Chapman, and many others."--BOOK JACKET.
