Mystical Theology shows the growing popularity of spirituality in all its forms is largely separated from theory. Through a study of exemplary writers such as Gregory of Nyssa, Mystical Theology uncovers an understanding of the inner integrity of mystical consciousness and theological expression.
The chapters test the possibility of renewed conversation between spirituality and theology by drawing on spiritual traditions to re-think contemporary problems in Trinitarian thought, christology, and the understanding of the self. This book offers not only an analysis of spirituality and theology, but also a hermeneutic for the theological appropriation of spirituality and a sustained argument for the renewal of mystical theology.
