Dionysius the Areopagite; The Divine Names; And the Mystical Theology

""Dionysius The Areopagite; The Divine Names; And The Mystical Theology"" is a book written by C. E. Rolt that explores the works of Dionysius the Areopagite, a Christian theologian and philosopher from the 5th century. The book focuses on two of Dionysius' most important works: ""The Divine Names"" and ""The Mystical Theology"". In ""The Divine Names"", Dionysius explores the nature of God and his attributes through the use of various names and titles. He argues that these names are not meant to be taken literally, but rather as symbols that point towards the ineffable nature of God. The book delves into the different names used by Dionysius and what they reveal about God's character.In ""The Mystical Theology"", Dionysius discusses the process of reaching a mystical union with God, which he describes as a journey towards the divine darkness. He argues that this union can only be achieved through the negation of all concepts and images of God, as these can never fully capture the true nature of the divine. Overall, ""Dionysius The Areopagite; The Divine Names; And The Mystical Theology"" provides an in-depth analysis of the works of Dionysius and their significance in Christian theology and philosophy. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the mystical and philosophical aspects of Christianity.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1920 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
