Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

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. Throughout Rolt provides informative notes on the translation with cross-references to scripture and other important texts. The translator C. E. Rolt was born in the 1880's. At the age of 14 he came under the mentorship of W. J. 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.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the writings of a mysterious theologian who claimed to be Dionysius, the Areopagite, a figure mentioned in the New Testament as St. Paul's convert. While this claim has been disproven by scholars, the book delves into the writings themselves, revealing a complex and intriguing theological system. The authorâ� �s main focus is the nature of God, which he describes as a "Super-Essential Godhead", a being that transcends all individual personalities and even the concept of existence itself. This concept is grounded in the philosophical tradition of Neo-Platonism, which was popular in the 5th and 6th centuries AD, and offers a rich exploration of the relationship between God and creation. The book explores the authorâ� �s unique understanding of the Divine Trinity, and how Godâ� �s essence is manifest in the world. It then tackles the challenging question of evil, arguing that evil is not an independent force, but rather a lapse from the perfection of Godâ� �s creation. The authorâ� �s central argument is that evil is ultimately non-existent, as it stems from a tendency toward nothingness and can only manifest through the corruption of goodness. This concept is interwoven with a powerful and nuanced theory of contemplation, which describes the human soulâ� �s journey toward union with the Divine through a process of spiritual concentration and self-transcendence. Ultimately, the book provides a captivating glimpse into a mystical and philosophical tradition that has profoundly influenced Christian thought, offering a compelling framework for understanding the nature of God, the human soul, and the meaning of existence itself. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330429174_0
