An Anthology of the Love of God

An Anthology of the Love of God by Evelyn Underhill. Edited by the Right Rev. Lumsden Barkway and Lucy Menzies.

Published by A. R. Mowbray & Co Ltd (Mowbrays), London & Oxford. Evelyn Underhill was one of the most admired devotional writers of the Anglican Church, and her mystical writings continue to draw readers in search of depth and spiritual nourishment. This anthology gathers the heart of her message: the Love of God.

Bishop Barkway and Lucy Menzies have chosen extracts of real substance, rich and closely woven thought rather than fleeting sayings. This copy is the third impression of 1976 of a book first published in 1953, in the familiar Mowbrays paperback format with its striking pink cover and portrait of Underhill. A tidy, readable copy.

Book: Good. The binding is sound and the text pages are clean. The cover shows light shelf wear and handling marks, as one would expect of a book of this age.

A pre-owned book; any wear beyond that described is minor and in keeping with its age.
