There is no shortage of books introducing prayer and methods of prayer to those wishing to set out on the nursery slopes. At the same time academic journals of theology describe and analyze the work of the great Christian mystics and the phenomena that accompany their approach to God. Less, perhaps, has been written on the stages in between. How does a life of prayer grow and deepen over time? What are the different pathways that such a life might take, and how are these to be evaluated? The essays collected in this issue of The Way approach questions of this kind from different perspectives, but each of them has something to say about a deeper prayer and its effects.
