On Union With God is a philosophical and theological treatise written by Albert the Great, a medieval theologian and philosopher who lived in the 13th century. The book explores the concept of union with God, which is a central idea in Christian mysticism. Albert the Great presents a detailed analysis of the process of achieving union with God, which involves the purification of the soul, the cultivation of virtues, and the attainment of mystical experiences. He draws on the works of other Christian mystics, such as St. Augustine and St. Bernard of Clairvaux, as well as the writings of Aristotle and other ancient philosophers. The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the process of union with God. The first part deals with the purification of the soul, the second with the cultivation of virtues, and the third with the attainment of mystical experiences. Throughout the book, Albert the Great emphasizes the importance of prayer, contemplation, and spiritual discipline in achieving union with God. The book is considered a classic of Christian mysticism and has been influential in shaping the theology of the Catholic Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
