Exploring Lost Dimensions in Christian Mysticism (eBook, ePUB)

Opening to the Mystical
Redaktion: Nelstrop, Louise; Podmore, Simon D.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

'Mystical theology' has developed through a range of meanings, from the hidden dimensions of divine significance in the community's interpretation of its scriptures to the much later 'science' of the soul's ascent into communion with God. Raising fundamental matters of epistemology, representation, metaphysics, and divine reality, contributors approach the mystical from postmodern, feminist, sociological and historical perspectives. Medieval and early modern radical prophetic approaches are also explored.
