Publisher's Description

Healing the Divide is a bold call to understand Jesus according to the earliest lineage of Christian Mystics--a call to transform our dualistic minds and heal a divided church. This book is a must read if you find yourself frustrated by the fundamentalist and new age polarization of twenty-first-century Christianity, bewildered by religious pluralism, or searching for Christianity's elusive mystic core.

“Praise for the First Edition: “In Healing the Divide, Amos Smith’s fresh perspective preserves the integrity of the Christian mystical epicenter from contamination from both the Christian hard right and the sometimes rudderless new age.”

Cynthia Bourgeault

“This is the most balanced treatment of Jesus I have ever seen. Maybe this book can alleviate the polarizing madness afflicting Western Christianity today.”

Ken Barnes

“Amos Smith writes about the incarnation with great enthusiasm. His work is commendable!”

William Meninger

“This is the clearest and most accessible treatment of Oriental Orthodox Christology I have seen by a Western author.”

Abba Yohannes
