The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church

Lossky, Vladimir, The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church, SVS Press.

In his classic exposition of the theology of the Church, Lossky states that the Eastern Tradition…”has never made a sharp distinction between mysticism and theology; between personal experience of the divine mysteries and the dogma affirmed bu the Church.” The term “mystical theology” denotes that which is accessible yet inaccessible those things understood yet surpassing all knowledge.
