Mysticism and Intellect in Medieval Christianity and Buddhism
explores two influential intellectual and religious leaders in
Christianity and Buddhism, Bonaventure (c. 1217-74) and Chinul
(1158-1210), a Franciscan theologian and a Korean Zen master
respectively, with respect to their lifelong endeavors to integrate
the intellectual and spiritual life so as to achieve the religious
aims of their respective religious traditions. It also investigates
an associated tension between different modes of discourse relating
to the divine or the ultimate-positive (cataphatic) discourse and
negative (apophatic) discourse. Both of these modes of discourse
are closely related to different ways of understanding the
immanence and transcendence of the divine or the ultimate. Through
close studies of Bonaventure and Chinul, the book presents a unique
dialogue between Christianity and Buddhism and between West and
East.
