Mysticism, Monks and Marty

This document looks at what Martin Luther offers in terms of a contemplative meditative spirituality. It discusses what can be learnt from the Christian tradition of meditation that seems to be unknown and lost to the majority of people in our culture today who are enamored with eastern forms of meditation. Other issues looked at include how meditation was practiced by Orthodox Christians and the Monastic communities of the Middle Ages as well as what the Lutheran tradition teaches about meditation.  ​meditation_in_the_lutheran_tradition
