Negative Theology and Desire in Spiritual Transformation According to John of the Cross
Desire is central to John of the Cross' treatment of the mystical ascent to God. He holds that God is desire and that there is a meeting between human and divine desire in the state of union with God, which is the goal. But it is less clear how this desire is to be understood against John's programmatic negation of desire on the spiritual journey in both its sensory and spiritual forms, according to his negative theology. He regards the lack of s…
The Oxford Handbook of Mystical Theology
The Oxford Handbook of Mystical Theology provides a guide to the mystical element of Christianity as a theological phenomenon. It differs not only from psychological and anthropological studies of mysticism, but from other theological studies, such as more practical or pastorally-oriented works that examine the patterns of spiritual progress and offer counsel for deeper understanding and spiritual development. It also differs from more explicitly…
From human desire to divine desire in John of the Cross
John of the Cross presents a spiritual journey of desire in which desire changes from a painful yearning for an infinite other, always out of reach (human desire), to the satisfaction of desire in mutual love and rest (the goal of union with God, conforming human to divine desire). John asserts a continuity of desire between these two states, and that it is possible for human desire to grow from one into the other. Yet they are very different. Jo…
Early Modern Reformations
Examines the development of mysticism under the competing claims of the Catholic, Protestant and Radical Reformations, with examples taken from Luther, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Hans Denck, the early Moravians, the early Quakers, and Pierre de Bérulle
Relationality and Difference in the Mysticism of Pierre de Bérulle
The mysticism of the seventeenth-century French cardinal, Pierre de Bérulle (1575–1629), contains an extended treatment of the relationship of the human and the divine in mystical union. Bérulle explores the nature of mystical union in detail and gives attention to the combination of the apparently incompatible elements of the human and divine and the historical and eternal. He prefers not to begin with the opposition between these elements but i…
