Christian Monism: Meditations on Christian Truths in the Language of Modern Thought

Rediscover a Forgotten Masterpiece of Catholic Mysticism
In this profound work of spiritual theology, Jesuit priest and evolutionary biologist Fr. Erich Wasmann, S.J. (1859-1931) bridges faith and science to reveal a vision of the cosmos immersed in God's presence. Christian Monism offers a daring yet orthodox exploration of how all creation-from atoms to angels-lives, moves, and has its being within the infinite "ocean of Godhead."

Originally published between the World Wars and revitalized for contemporary readers, this timeless text redefines divine immanence through the lens of Catholic tradition. Wasmann dismantles materialistic monism while presenting a radiant "Christian Monism" a worldview where Christ's incarnation, Eucharist, and Sacred Heart unite heaven and earth, matter and spirit, time and eternity.

Key Themes Explored:

• God's Omnipresence: Creation as a cosmic sea where "little fishes" (souls) swim in divine life.

• The Holy Eucharist as "Heaven on Earth": How the tabernacle makes eternity tangible.

• Triumph Over Time and Space: Communion with saints, angels, and the crucified Christ across millennia.

• The Sacred Heart: A mystical response to modern atheism and ingratitude.

• Science and Faith: Written by a pioneering entomologist respected by Darwinists like Haeckel.
