The Origins of the Christian Mystical Tradition: From Plato to Denys
Louth, Andrew (, Professor of Patristic and Byzantine Studies, University of Durham)
Andrew Louth traces the Christian mystical tradition from Plato and Platonism, through figures such as Origen, Gregory of Nyssa, Denys the Areopagite, and Augustine, to St John of the Cross. In doing so he explores the diverse, and often conflicting influences that are to be found in Christian spirituality. An additional chapter brings this classic study completely up to date.
