Description: In Christ the Original Mystery (a republication of the work issued in 2004 as Guénonian Esoterism and Christian Mystery), René Guénon's insights into the problems of the modern world, symbolism, and metaphysics are masterfully situated by Jean Borella within the horizons of the Christian Mystery, the sacraments, and the mystical way.
Brief description: JEAN BORELLA taught philosophy at the University of Nancy until 1995. A Platonist by formation, he has been strongly influenced by Guénon and Eastern metaphysics. But his deepest inspiration derives from unceasing meditation on the Christian faith, which led him to undertake the present searching critique of "Guénonian Christianity." Among his other books in English translation are: The Crisis of Religious Symbolism, The Secret of the Christian Way, The Sense of the Supernatural, and Love and Truth: The Christian Path of Charity (forthcoming from Angelico Press).
