Summary:"The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Christian Mysticism brings together a team of leading international scholars to explore the origins, evolution, and contemporary debates relating to Christian mystics, texts, and the movements they inspired. Provides a comprehensive and engaging account of Christian mysticism, from its origins right up to the present day; draws on the best of current scholarship by bringing together a collection of newly-commissioned readings by leading scholars; considers examples of mysticism in both Eastern and Western Christianity; offers a brilliant synthesis of the key figures and historical periods of mysticism; its core themes, such as heresy, gender, or aesthetics; and its theoretical considerations, including theological, literary, social scientific, and philosophical approaches; features chapters on current debates such as neuroscience and mystical experience, and inter-religious dialogue."--Publisher's description.
