The term ''mysticism'' has never been consistently defined or
employed, either in religious traditions or in academic discourse.
The essays in this volume offer ways of defining what mysticism is,
as well as methods for grappling with its complexity in a
classroom.
This volume addresses the diverse literature surrounding mysticism
in four interrelated parts. The first part includes essays on the
tradition and context of mysticism, devoted to drawing out and
examining the mystical element in many religious traditions. The
second part engages traditions and religio-cultural strands in
which ''mysticism'' is linked to other terms, such as shamanism,
esotericism, and Gnosticism. The volume's third part focuses on
methodological strategies for defining ''mysticism, '' with respect
to varying social spaces. The final essays show how contemporary
social issues and movements have impacted the meaning, study, and
pedagogy of mysticism.
Teaching Mysticism presents pedagogical reflections on how best to
communicate mysticism from a variety of institutional spaces. It
surveys the broad range of meanings of mysticism, its utilization
in the traditions, the theories and methods that have been used to
understand it, and provides critical insight into the resulting
controversies.
