The book is thematically organized in terms of the central contexts, practices and concepts associated with the mystical life in early, medieval and early modern Christianity. This book looks beyond the term 'mysticism', which was an early modern invention, to explore the ways in which the ancient terms 'mystic' and 'mystical' were used in the Christian tradition: what kinds of practices, modes of life and experiences were described as 'mystical'? What understanding of Christianity and of the life of Christian perfection is articulated through mystical interpretations of scripture, mystical contemplation, mystical vision, mystical theology or mystical union? This volume both provides a clear introduction to the Christian mystical life and articulates a bold new approach to the study of mysticism. 410 0$aCambridge companions to religion. 606 $aMysticism 615 0$aMysticism. 676 $a248.2/2 686 $aREL000000$2bisacsh 702 $aHollywood$b Amy M.$f1963- 702 $aBeckman$b Patricia Z.$f1967- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996204519503316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Christian mysticism$92426740 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
