THE DIVINE NAMES and THE MYSTICAL THEOLOGY were written by a theologian who professed to be St. Paul's Athenian convert Dionysius. The translator A.E. Rolt however places him in the time of Proclus in the 5th century AD. These works of Neo-Platonic Christian mysticism had an important influence on the early church and other Western esoteric orders and continue to be essential in the serious study of theology. Within these writings are the doctrine of the Super-Essential Godhead its relation to creation a discussion on the nature of evil and a guide to the path of contemplation. Rolt provides a clear introduction to the Areopagite's writings considers his relevance to modern philosophy and the psychology of contemplation and outlines the scriptural basis of his doctrines.

Sparrow-Simpson who sent him to King's College School and later he attended Queen's College at Oxford where he was awarded the Liddon Studentship The preface has been newly written by Alan Armstrong an acknowledged expert on the Golden Dawn.
