  • "Louis Bouyer, one of the most gifted and internationally renowned theologians of our time, explores the importance of mystery and mysticism in the Christian tradition. He first shows how myth and mystery, as understood and practiced by pagan, Hellenistic and classical cults, gave way through the ages to Christian mysticism and spirituality. In this historical treatment, there are many insights into the religious practices of the earliest known societies. Bouyer goes on to examine the development of mysticism and spirituality in the Christian West up to the present day: looking at the psychology of mysticism found in certain celebrated mystics; comparing Christian with cosmic, Jewish, Islamic and Buddhist mysticism; and considering the nature of mystic experience."
