The Fullness of God

Frithjof Schuon on Christianity

Foreword by Antoine Faivre

Selected and edited by James S. Cutsinger

About this Book

“The highest praise that I can offer concerning the writings of Frithjof

Schuon is that they are worthy of their subject matter—the teachings of

the great spiritual traditions. Whether one’s views are supported or chal-

lenged by these writings, any serious person will feel grateful to be con-

fronted by such a generously discerning intellect and to witness the

emergence of authentic contemplative thought in this darkening time.”

— Jacob Needleman , San Francisco State University, author

of Lost Christianity

“Professor Cutsinger has gathered a florilegium of Schuon’s illuminating

insights into Christianity; his editor’s notes will be unobtrusively helpful to

many readers. The Fullness of God is a must-read for any person who senses

that something essential is lacking in most of what is routinely considered

as Christianity today.”

— Patrick Laude , Georgetown University, author of The Way of

Poetry: Essays on Poetics and Contemplative Transformation

“Frithjof Schuon’s work has meant so much to me, and he has influenced

my music perhaps more than anyone in recent years. Anyone, indeed, who

is an artist concerned with the sacred should read him.”

— Sir John Tavener , composer, and author of The Music of

Silence: A Composer’s Testament

“ The Fullness of God: Frithjof Schuon on Christianity is both a compelling and

a stimulating book for students (at any level) of theology and philosophy,

and a source of quiet insights and ascetic discipline for those seeking spir-

itual guidance. That one book can offer such diversity is a witness to the

skill not only of Schuon, whose work has inspired generations of seekers

after truth in all cultures, but also of the editor, James Cutsinger. His edi-

torial additions and explanations provide an essential gloss on this chal-

lenging author’s writings, and the upshot is an accessible yet scholarly

read.”

— Hannah Hunt , independent scholar in Patristics and Early

Church History

“In The Fullness of God , Professor Cutsinger does a masterful job of pre-

senting us with Frithjof Schuon’s profound insights into the nature of

Christianity. Schuon starts from a metaphysical understanding of Christ’s

theandric reality and through this Christic prism leads the reader through

a wide array of Christian themes. It seems no stone has gone unturned for

Schuon; his insights and approach cannot but be refreshing, challenging,

and inspiring for all serious seekers. I personally have been deeply moved

by his work and newly reminded that the goal of the Christian life is to live

in ‘all the fullness of God.’”

— Rev. Fr. Mark T. Mancuso , a priest of the Orthodox

Church

“Frithjof Schuon is undoubtedly one of the most penetrating exponents of

the relationship between religion and metaphysics. Cutsinger has done us

a great service in bringing together Schuon’s widely scattered comments

on Christianity. The insights of this wonderful book are essential for any-

one who wishes to penetrate to the depths of the Christian tradition.”

— Rama Coomaraswamy , author of The Invocation of the Name

of Jesus: As Practiced in the Western Church

World Wisdom

The Library of Perennial Philosophy

The Library of Perennial Philosophy is dedicated to the exposition of the time-

less Truth underlying the diverse religions. This Truth, often referred to as the

Sophia Perennis —or Perennial Wisdom—finds its expression in the revealed

Scriptures as well as in the writings of the great sages and the artistic creations of

the traditional worlds.

The Perennial Philosophy provides the intellectual principles capable of

explaining both the formal contradictions and the transcendent unity of the great

religions.

Ranging from the writings of the great sages of the past to the perennialist

authors of our time, each series of our Library has a different focus. As a whole,

they express the inner unanimity, transforming radiance, and irreplaceable values

of the great spiritual traditions.

The Fullness of God: Frithjof Schuon on Christianity appears as one of our selections

in the Writings of Frithjof Schuon series.

The Writings of Frithjof Schuon

The Writings of Frithjof Schuon form the foundation of our library

because he is the pre-eminent exponent of the Perennial Philosophy. His

work illuminates this perspective in both an essential and comprehensive

manner like none other.
