The Mystic Christian Reader

The Mystic Christian Reader is a blog devoted to Bible study from a scholarly, contextual, and inherently mystic perspective. We will be illuminating the Christian manifestation of that which is called the Perennial Philosophy in the West and Sanatan Dharma in the East. Both of these phrases could be roughly translated into "The Original/Eternal Religion". This is the current of Truth (with a VERY capitalized T) which goes beyond dogma, guilt, and judgement.

Lenten Reading for Tuesday, Fourth Week in Lent

Today's reading is from the Gospel of St. Luke, Chapter 23, verses 9 and 10:

Herod questioned Jesus at length, but he gave him no answer. The chief priests and scribes, meanwhile, stood by accusing him harshly.
