Autor

Matthew B. Scraper is an ordained elder in the Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference of the United Methodist Church and a lifelong student of Christian spiritual formation. Shaped by decades of ministry, he brings a deeply personal and pastoral approach to the exploration of faith, drawing on his experiences as a theologian, teacher, and spiritual mentor. Raised in a household steeped in ministry, Scraper carries forward the legacy of his late father, Rev. Randy L. Scraper, whose dedication to spiritual formation and theological scholarship continues to inform his work. With academic foundations in theology and ministry, and a heart for guiding others through the complexities of faith, Scraper's writings bridge the gap between historical Christian wisdom and the lived experience of modern believers. In this third edition of The Mystic Way of Salvation, Scraper refines and expands his exploration of the spiritual journey, offering readers a clearer, richer understanding of the path toward divine union. His passion is to see others grow into the fullness of their faith, walking the mystic way with confidence, humility, and the deep assurance of grace.
