Written in reaction to the teaching of Peter Abelard and as a companion piece to The Enigma of Faith, theMirror explores how faith knows, how reason knows, and how 'in the last analysis 'only love can know God.

"The will grows into love, love becomes charity, and charity develops into wisdom." This is one of many gems in this book. "The love which we owe God is fourfold and entire. In that He says He will be loved 'with all thy heart', He demands our will. 'Will all thy strength' implies the virtue of charity, and 'with all thy mind' means the enjoyment of wisdom. It is the will itself which first moves the soul towards God, and love carries it onward. Charity contemplates Him and wisdom enjoys Him."
