This book focuses on the specific anthropology of a series of key authors in the mystical tradition in the medieval and early modern Low Countries. Their view is fundamentally different from the anthropology that has commonly been accepted since the rise of Modernity. This book explores the most important mystical authors and texts from the Low Countries including: William of Saint-Thierry, Hadewijch, Pseudo-Hadewijch, John of Ruusbroec, Jan van Leeuwen, Hendrik Herp, and the Arnhem Mystical Sermons. The most important aspects of mystical anthropology are discussed: the spiritual nature of the soul, the inner-most being of the soul, the faculties, the senses, and crucial metaphors which were used to explain the relationship of God and the human person. Two contributions explicitly connect the anthropology of the mystics to contemporary thought. This book offers a solid and yet accessible overview for those interested in theology, philosophy, history, and medieval literature. 410 0$aContemporary theological explorations in Christian mysticism. 606 $aTheological anthropology$xChristianity 606 $aMysticism 615 0$aTheological anthropology$xChristianity. 615 0$aMysticism. 676 $a233.09 702 $aArblaster$b John$f1985- 702 $aFaesen$b Rob 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150353803321 996 $aMystical anthropology$92055211 997 $aUNINA
