Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Christian mysticism is the pursuit of religious union with God through contemplation and the intention to live a divine life. This book is a collection of essays and extracts from key Christian mystics that illustrate and explore this subject. Beginning with Plato, the author traces the evolution of Christian mysticism through major figures such as Origen, Plotinus, and Dionysius the Areopagite. She also includes writings by Meister Eckhart, the German mystics, and the Spanish mystics, such as St John of the Cross and St Theresa. The book explores how the mystics perceived and approached their relationship with God and issues like self-denial and the importance of prayer and contemplation. The author also considers the challenges associated with mysticism and how it has been viewed with suspicion by the established church.
