The Mysticism of the Present Moment by José Tolentino Mendonça

What path should seekers of God take? Is it merely an exercise in breaking from the everyday, distancing ourselves from our bodies to achieve the purely spiritual? Based on biblical revelation and contributions from anthropology, José Tolentino Mendonça offers a spirituality of the present moment that involves the senses and the body in the expression of faith. It shows how our body, through the senses, opens us to the presence of God in the moment. In a text that is rich in multiple references and full of poetry, he traces a new path in many ways that open up stimulating perspectives that resonate with modern aspirations and sensitivities.
