Publisher's Synopsis
Mystical Reflections is a set of reflections on the Old Testament according to the four senses of Sacred Scripture, and focuses heavily on the allegorical sense. "Michael Lofton has undertaken an ambitious work, fueled by the noblest desires. He wants to receive and understand the Holy Scriptures as they were received and understood by the early Christians. He wants to read the texts in the spirit in which they were written and preached. Thus he has taken up the Church's most ancient methods of reading the Bible. Now he wants us all to share the excitement of his discovery. He gives us his book not as a final word, but in order to lead us to a fresh beginning." - Mike Aquilina, author, The Fathers of the Church; The Mass of the Early Christians
