Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book 'The Works of Dionysius the Areopagite' is a foundational text in Christian mysticism, dating back to the 6th century. This collection of mystical writings covers various theological topics such as the nature of God, angels, and the divine hierarchy. Dionysius' rich and symbolic literary style, marked by metaphorical language and contemplative imagery, has had a profound influence on later Christian mystics and writers. The complex and esoteric content of the book reflects the mystical traditions of Neoplatonism and early Christian theology, making it a fascinating read for those interested in the development of mystical thought in Christianity. Dionysius' profound insights into the nature of the divine and human relationship offer readers a glimpse into the depths of Christian spirituality. Dionysius the Areopagite, often considered a pseudonymous figure, was a Greek Christian mystic and theologian. His writings reflect a deep understanding of both Neoplatonic philosophy and Christian theology, blending the two traditions seamlessly. The author's innovative blending of philosophical concepts with Christian theology makes this book a unique and significant contribution to the mystical tradition within Christianity. I highly recommend 'The Works of Dionysius the Areopagite' to readers who are interested in exploring the intersection of philosophy, theology, and mysticism in early Christian thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dionysius the Areopagite (or Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite) remains one of the most enigmatic figures of the early Christianity. He was a Greek author, Christian theologian and Neoplatonic philosopher of the late 5th to early 6th century, who wrote a set of works known as the Corpus Areopagiticum or Corpus Dionysiacum. The author pseudonymously identifies himself in the corpus as "Dionysios", portraying himself as Dionysius the Areopagite, the Athenian convert of Paul the Apostle mentioned in Acts 17:34. This attribution to the earliest decades of Christianity resulted in the work being given great authority in subsequent theological writing in both the East and the West. The Dionysian writings and their mystical teaching were universally accepted throughout the East, amongst both Chalcedonians and non-Chalcedonians, and also had a strong impact in later medieval western mysticism, most notably Meister Eckhart. Its influence decreased in the West with the fifteenth-century demonstration of its later dating, but in recent decades, interest has increased again in the Corpus Areopagiticum.

Book excerpt: "In The Divine Names the unknown Dionysius the Areopagite expresses many profound truths concerning the Divine Nature, based upon discussions of the names which are ascribed in the Bible to Him and to His attributes. In doing so, Dionysius had the advantage of the mystical teachings of the Neoplatonic School, which developed the Platonic teachings. Since he treated these from a Christian point of view, Dionysius played a great part in developing Christian mysticism. At the same time he is a link with the older thought, and therefore illustrates how the one fundamental truth is contimued [sic] through many schools of thought."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians face a conundrum when it comes to naming God, for if God is unnamable, as theologians maintain, he can also be called by every name. His proper name is thus an open-ended, all-encompassing list, a mystery the Church embraces in its rhetoric, but which many Christians have found difficult to accept. To explore this conflict, Valentina Izmirlieva examines two lists of God’s names: one from The Divine Names, the classic treatise by Pseudo-Dionysius, and the other from The 72 Names of the Lord, an amulet whose history binds together Kabbalah and Christianity, Jews and Slavs, Palestine, Provence, and the Balkans. This unexpected juxtaposition of a theological treatise and a magical amulet allows Izmirlieva to reveal lists’ rhetorical potential to create order and to function as both tools of knowledge and of power. Despite the two different visions of order represented by each list, Izmirlieva finds that their uses in Christian practice point to a complementary relationship between the existential need for God’s protection and the metaphysical desire to submit to his infinite majesty—a compelling claim sure to provoke discussion among scholars in many fields.
