The Oxford Handbook of Mystical Theology provides a guide to the
mystical element of Christianity as a theological phenomenon. It
differs not only from psychological and anthropological studies of
mysticism, but from other theological studies, such as more
practical or pastorally-oriented works that examine the patterns of
spiritual progress and offer counsel for deeper understanding and
spiritual development. It also differs from more explicitly
historical studies tracing the theological and philosophical
contexts and ideas of various key figures and schools, as well as
from literary studies of the linguistic tropes and expressive forms
in mystical texts. None of these perspectives is absent, but the
method here is more deliberately theological, working from within
the fundamental interests of Christian mystical writers to the
articulation of those interests in distinctively theological forms,
in order, finally, to permit a critical theological engagement with
them for today. Divided into four parts, the first section
introduces the approach to mystical theology and offers a
historical overview. Part two attends to the concrete context of
sources and practices of mystical theology. Part three moves to the
fundamental conceptualities of mystical thought. The final section
ends with the central contributions of mystical teaching to
theology and metaphysics. Students and scholars with a variety of
interests will find different pathways through the Handbook.
