Mysticism And Christology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425335137)

""Mysticism and Christology"" is a book written by Evelyn Underhill, a British writer and philosopher who is well-known for her works on Christian mysticism. This book is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between mysticism and Christology, which is the study of the nature and role of Jesus Christ in Christianity. The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the nature of mysticism and its relationship to Christian theology. Underhill argues that mysticism is not a separate branch of theology, but rather a way of experiencing and understanding the divine that is essential to Christianity. The second part of the book focuses on the historical development of Christology, from the early church to modern times. Underhill examines the various theological controversies surrounding the nature of Christ, including debates over his divinity and humanity. The final part of the book explores the relationship between mysticism and Christology in the lives of Christian mystics, including St. John of the Cross and Julian of Norwich. Underhill argues that these mystics experienced a deep union with Christ that transformed their understanding of God and the world. Overall, ""Mysticism and Christology"" is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the relationship between Christian mysticism and theology. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christian thought and the role of mysticism in the Christian tradition.THIS 90 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Mystic Way a Psychological Study in Christian Origins, by Evelyn Underhill.
