Richard Smoley is a graduate of Harvard College and Oxford University. He is the coauthor, with Jay Kinney, of Hidden Wisdom- A Guide to the Western Inner Traditions and the former editor of Gnosis magazine.
"A wide range of material . . . provides a solid introduction to
esoteric Christianity."— Library Journal
"Smoley traverses a vast continent of belief and practice in this
lively guide to Christian esotericism, and he does so with great
intelligence and style."—Philip Zaleski, editor of the Best
Spiritual Writing series
"We overlook the very heart and soul of Christianity when we reduce
it to rules, dogmas, and rigid moral directives. Inner Christianity
helps correct that mistake by spelling out, clearly and
thoughtfully, the subtle interior mysteries of this religion. This
book could help many, Christians and others, find a new level of
intelligence in Christian thought and practice. It could change the
direction of your spiritual life."—Thomas Moore, author of Care of
the Soul and The Soul's Religion
"In this deeply wise and important work, Richard Smoley restores
the realm of inner space to the Christian tradition. Drawing upon a
wide range of mystical and esoteric literature and practice, he
shows how multidimensional is the Christian message, and how
profound its understanding of the nature and purpose of the psyche.
In a time of so much change and confusion, this potent book serves
as a source of profound guidance and gnosis."—Jean Houston, Ph.D.,
author of A Mythic Life and Jump Time
"Richard Smoley has rolled away the rock of symbol, myth, metaphor,
and obscuration and resurrected the radiant light of an inner
Christianity. In clear and vibrant language, he makes the deepest
wisdom of the Christian tradition available and accessible to
everyone. This book is an empowerment of faith and spirit and will,
I predict, become a classic for all who walk the path of Christ in
the midst of their everyday lives."—David Spangler, author of
Everyday Miracles, Blessing: The Art and the Practice, and
Apprenticed to Spirit
