Publisher's Synopsis
"My Dear Far-Nearness is a one-of-a-kind book from a one-of-a-kind author. It distills a lifetime of spiritual practice and analytical reflection. . . For Jonas the Trinity is what we might call a divine way of life. Humans made in the image of God likewise are made for this way of life, whose manifestations span a complete spectrum of human dimensions: psychological, social, spiritual. This central theme seamlessly integrates the wide variety of perspectives that intersect in Robert Jonas' own career, those of psychotherapist, mystic, teacher, musician, activist, scholar."-From the Foreword by S. Mark Heim
