• W284976386 abstract "What is authentic spirituality and what is the role of contemplation in the spiritual life? Throughout her life, Evelyn Underhill journeyed on process of discovering the answers to these questions. life of the Christian involves ongoing conversion, and Underhill's was no exception. Her works reveal Underhill's developing thought on the goal and nature of the spiritual life, self-surrender, and contemplation. In Underhill's life and work the integration of spirituality and theology can be seen, in that her discovery of truth coincides with her deepening conversion and vice versa. Beginning in 1907, Underhill's Christian life began to move away from neoplatonic spirituality and thought toward Christocentric contemplative action. To facilitate demonstration of this process, in this essay selection of Underhill's works are divided into three periods, beginning with Mysticism, and her thought is examined with regard to the goal and nature of the spiritual life, self-surrender, and contemplation. According to her entry in the New Catholic Encyclopedia, Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941) was a prolific writer, producing 39 books on mysticism and spiritual fife, and more than 350 articles and reviews.1 Throughout this extensive body of work an evolving spiritual theology is noticeable, just as her terminology for the deeper life changes from the unitive life, the mystic life, and the spiritual life, to the sacramental fife. In Underbill's life itself there is evidence of change and growdi as well: movement from an anti-institutional bias toward an affirmation of institutional Christianity; from Neoplatonism toward an incarnational and sacramental Ufe; from pride toward more humility;2 from elitism toward servanthood; from an individualistic spirituality3 toward theistic4 and later Christocentric spirituality. For this essay I divide Underbill s Christian life into three periods in order to examine the development of her understanding of the spiritual life in terms of its goal, its nature, and its relationship to surrender and contemplation. In this exercise, it will be seen that Underhill s movement toward Christocentric spirituality meant movement toward affirming creatureliness, incarnational spirituality, and contemplative action. In her early adult life, from 1902 to 1905, Evelyn Underhill was involved in the Hermetic Society of the Golden Dawn, and her spirituality as an agnostic could be characterized as esoteric, spiritistic, and neoplatonic.5 But in 1907, Underhill converted from agnosticism to Christianity. In that year was attracted to Roman Catholic mystical experience as result of retreat at Roman Catholic convent,6 and she later wrote in her 1926 letter to Bishop Frere, 1 had from time to time what seemed to be vivid experiences of God, from the time of my conversion from agnosticism (about twenty years ago now).7 Given this evidence, I define Evelyn Underhill s Christian journey as beginning in 1907. And I have divided this journey into three time periods for the purpose of exploring changes in Underbill's developing spiritual theology: the early period from 1907-1920; the middle period from 1920-1934, and the later period from 1934-1941. It was in 1907 that Underhill began her work Mysticism? Thus for her early Christian life, I draw from three works on mysticism: Mysticism (third edition, 1912), Mystic Way (1913), and Practical Mysticism (1915). Practical Mysticism was written during the last months of peace before World War I. It is from these early works on mysticism that Grace Jantzen draws her criticism of Underhill: The work for which she is chiefly remembered feeds materially into die privatized individualism of much of contemporary spirituality.9 At that time of her life, writes Jantzen, Underbill was strongly if idiosyncratically neopiatonist . . . and still much taken with the writing on mysticism, magic and the occult of Arthur Waite.10 It was not until around 1918 that Underhill began to reject the remaining neoplatonic influences in her spirituality. …" @default.
