| Summary: | “The theological tilt in Fox's brand of mysticism is toward creation. His aim is not only to be creation-centered in his spirituality, but also to warn the world about any version of Christianity in which creation appears as an afterthought…. While intriguing in itself, the most significant feature of this argument may be that a mystic is making it. Fox's work provides clear evidence that a lively sense of divine creation can block both the sex-negativism and the indifference to public life that has bedeviled the mystic tradition through the centuries.” |
