The Cambridge Companion to Christian Mysticism is a multi-authored
interdisciplinary guide to the study of Christian mysticism, with
an emphasis on the third through the seventeenth centuries. The
book is thematically organized in terms of the central contexts,
practices and concepts associated with the mystical life in early,
medieval and early modern Christianity. This book looks beyond the
term 'mysticism', which was an early modern invention, to explore
the ways in which the ancient terms 'mystic' and 'mystical' were
used in the Christian tradition: what kinds of practices, modes of
life and experiences were described as 'mystical'? What
understanding of Christianity and of the life of Christian
perfection is articulated through mystical interpretations of
scripture, mystical contemplation, mystical vision, mystical
theology or mystical union? This volume both provides a clear
introduction to the Christian mystical life and articulates a bold
new approach to the study of mysticism.
