It provides for a nuanced treatment that differentiates different strands of thought that may be considered mystical. The Hebrew tradition is mythical in nature and concerned with various ways of being in the presence of God. The Greek tradition allows for a greater degree of unification and participation in the divine. The New Testament texts are generally closer to the Greek tradition, although Greek philosophy would have a huge effect on later Christian mysticism.The book is intended for scholars and advanced students of ancient Judaism and early Christianity. 410 0$aEkstasis (Walter de Gruyter & Co.) ;$vVolume 7.$x1865-8792 606 $aChristianity and other religions 615 0$aChristianity and other religions. 676 $a261.2 676 $a296.09 702 $aCollins$b John J$g(John Joseph),$f1946- 702 $aVilliers$b Pieter G.
