Synopsis "the roots of christian mysticism: texts from the patristic era with commentary"

By linking together a series of brilliantly chosen texts from the early centuries of the Church, the author lays bare the roots of the deeply mystical spirituality that has flourished among Christians throughout the ages. This book will appeal to anyone who is interested in the field of spirituality. It is a masterly contribution to Christian scholarship, and this second edition includes an extraordinarily useful Index.

Olivier Clément (1921–2009) was a French theologian and writer, converted to Orthodox Christianity at thirty after a deep spiritual search influenced by authors like Dostoevsky and Berdiaev. Professor at the Saint-Serge Orthodox Theology Institute in Paris, he stood out for his commitment to ecumenical dialogue and his participation as a lay observer in the Second Vatican Council. He was also awarded honorary doctorates by the Theological Institute of Bucharest and the Catholic University of Louvain.

A prolific author in the genres of theology, spirituality, and essay, his most notable works in Spanish include Approaching Prayer (1986), The Orthodox Church (1990), God is Sympathy (2011), The Faces of the Spirit (2015), The Joy of the Resurrection (2016), Theopoetics of the Body (2017), and Christ, Land of the Living (2024). His legacy endures as a bridge between East and West, offering a profound and poetic vision of the Christian faith.
