Can the 'darkness' of ancient mysticism survive the 'bright light' of Scripture? Johann Frank’s 'The Mystical Janus' acts as a theological gatekeeper, stripping the obscure veils from traditional mysticism to reveal a biblically grounded path to union with God. Readers will discover a rigorous guide to spiritual perfection that replaces ecstatic escapes with a 'Sabbath of the soul' found in the Word.
