Alan Watts's 1947 book, published in London by John Murray (a second edition followed from Random House in 1971), a reworking of his Episcopal divinity thesis arguing for a non-dualistic reading of Anglican theology in terms of the Perennial Philosophy. Written while Watts was training for and serving as an Episcopal priest, it is his own attempt to reconcile Christian mysticism with the non-dual insight he found in Zen and Vedanta, before he left the priesthood in 1950.
