'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. The thinkers and questions
addressed in this book draws us into the heart of a complicated,
beautiful, and often tantalisingly unfinished conversation,
continuing over centuries and often brushing allusively into
parallel concerns in other religions. Raising fundamental matters
of epistemology, representation, metaphysics, and divine reality,
contributors approach the mystical from postmodern, feminist,
sociological and historical perspectives through thinkers such as
Meister Eckhart, Thomas Aquinas, Catherine of Siena, Ignatius of
Loyola, William James, Evelyn Underhill, Ernst Troeltsch, Rudolf
Otto, Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Marion and Jean-Louis Chretien.
Medieval and early modern radical prophetic approaches are also
explored. This book includes new essays by Sarah Apetrei, Tina
Beattie, Raphel Cadenhead, Oliver Davies, Philip Endean, Brian
FitzGerald, Ann Loades, George Pattison, Simon D. Podmore, Joel
D.S. Rasmussen, and Johannes Zachhuber.
