This volume offers revised versions of papers originally presented at the December 2016 conference on “The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church,” organized by the Sophia Institute of Eastern Orthodox Studies (succeeded by the Institute for Studies of Eastern Christianity, or ISEC) and held on
the premises of Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York.
In this volume we aim to introduce various contemporary Orthodox theological, philosophical, exegetical, and liturgical views on mysticism. The book reflects the modern Orthodox quest for a deep spiritual engagement with both the academy and the general public. The contributors represent a diverse group of Christian Orthodox thinkers and public intellectuals concerned with handing down tradition while also offering a proper response to the challenges of modernity according to Orthodox ethos and canons.
The chapters are organized in a way to reflect their emphasis on patristics, liturgy, and practice. We believe that this work will be engaging and call for a dialogue among the Orthodox and non-Orthodox communities. We hope that it will further facilitate scholarly exchange on the mystical tradition of the Eastern Church.
