Concerning the Mortification of the Flesh is a book written by G. R. S. Mead. It explores the concept of mortification, which is the practice of denying oneself certain physical pleasures or comforts in order to achieve spiritual growth. Mead delves into the history of this practice, examining its roots in various religious traditions, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism. He also discusses the benefits and potential dangers of mortification, as well as the various techniques that have been used throughout history to achieve it. This book provides a comprehensive overview of mortification and its place in spiritual practice, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of religion and physical discipline.1920.
