From the earliest centuries there has existed a Christian theology
of mysticism, defining the state which Bernard Lonergan called a
"being in love with God." St. John of the Cross wrote such a
theology for the sixteenth century, calling it "the science of
love." Now, William Johnston, one of the great spiritual writers of
our time, attempts to do the same for the twenty-first century.
In Part One of Mystical Theology Johnston surveys Christian
mysticism through the centuries. Johnson shows that such a theology
today must dialogue with modern science and with Eastern religions.
Part Two provides this dialogue, where Johnston engages Einstein's
theories as well as Zen Buddhism. In Part Three, it becomes clear
how the "science of love" is no longer an esoteric discipline for
monks and nuns. In Johnston's writing it becomes accessible to all
modern people grappling with problems of sexuality, social justice,
world peace, and the protection of the environment.
Mystical Theology is indispensable to all those seeking guidance
as well as intellectual and historical foundations of the Christian
mystical experience today.
