I owe two of these terms to the subtitle of an important book by the theologian Dorothee Soelle, who died in April 2003. It’s a book I really commend to you. The main title is The Silent Cry. The subtitle is Mysticism and Resistance. The central claim in this book is that mysticism, far from being otherworldly or escapist, has often been the source of Christian political resistance throughout the centuries.
