Alexandria and the Art of Contemplation is a book written by Evelyn Underhill. It explores the history and spirituality of Alexandria, a city in Egypt that was once a center of intellectual and spiritual activity. Underhill examines the role of contemplation in the lives of the early Christians who lived in Alexandria, as well as the influence of Greek philosophy on their thinking. She also looks at the ways in which the city's culture and environment contributed to the development of contemplative practices. Throughout the book, Underhill emphasizes the importance of contemplation as a means of deepening one's connection with God and achieving spiritual growth. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the practice of contemplation, or the cultural and intellectual history of Alexandria.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Mystic Way a Psychological Study in Christian Origins, by Evelyn Underhill.
