Scholars of the patristic era have paid more attention to the
dogmatic tradition in their period than to the development of
Christian mystical theology. Andrew Louth aims to redress the
balance. Recognizing that the intellectual form of this tradition
was decisively influenced by Platonic ideas of the soul's
relationship to God, Louth begins with an examination of Plato and
Platonism. The discussion of the Fathers, which follows shows how,
the mystical tradition is at the heart of their thought and how the
dogmatic tradition both moulds and is the reflection of mystical
insights and concerns. This new edition of a classic study of the
diverse influences upon Christian spirituality includes a new
Epilogue, which brings the text completely up to date.
