The author argues that mysticism is not confined to Christianity, but the relation between the soul and Christ is a distinctive mystical experience; and it is specific in this sense, that this relation works out in a certain practice of life and certain development of character. It is this concrete effect of a true Christian mysticism which forms the subject of this book.

Autorenporträt
Robert Forman Horton, the British Nonconformist divine, was born in London. Horton attended Shrewsbury School and New College, Oxford, where he received a First in Classics. He served as president of the Oxford Union in 1877. In 1879, he became a fellow of his institution and taught history for four years. He was the first non-Anglican to have a teaching job at Oxford University after the Reformation. Horton received an invitation to become pastor of the Lyndhurst Road Congregational Church in Hampstead in 1880, and he became actively involved in church and denominational work after that. Lyndhurst Hall was established as a mission hall for the Hampstead church in Kentish Town. Horton gave the Lyman Beecher lectures at Yale University in 1893. He served as chairman of the London Congregational Union in 1898 and of the Congregational Union of England and Wales in 1903, respectively. In 1909, he was a significant participant in Hartford Theological Seminary's 75th anniversary celebration. His various books included theological, critical, historical, biographical, and devotional topics.
