The Mystical Theology of Dionysius the Areopagite

Charles Stang

Description

A close reading of the complete works of Pseudo Dionysius the Areopagite, the early sixth century theologian who wrote under the name of Pauls famous convert (Acts 17:34), and who is widely regarded as the foremost spokesman of the apophatic or negative mystical tradition.
