A profound and spiritual reflection on the Nicene Creed, the basis of Catholic belief.
These meditations, based upon the principal articles of the Nicene Creed, were originally presented by Evelyn Underhill (1875 1941) at a retreat she conducted at her beloved Pleshy, a small village in England that was the site of her conversion to the Christian faith. The renewed interest in mysticism and spirituality today among Christians of all communions draws heavily from her work. The popularity and use of her books by scholar, lay people, and clergy attest to the originality of her writings and the helpfulness of her spiritual direction.
Evelyn Underhill (18751941) was an Anglo-Catholic writer who wrote about spiritual practice and specifically Christian mysticism. She published 39 books and contributed more than 350 articles and reviews. Her best-known works include Mysticism: A Study in the Nature and Development of Mans Spiritual Consciousness and Practical Mysticism.
