{ "item_title" : "The most mystical theology", "item_author" : [" James Paul Roolvink "], "item_description" : "This book contains a translation the 'Mystical Theology' written by the fifth-century Neoplatonic Christian mystic Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. He is the father of 'negative theology' and exerted great influence on Western thought, Catholicism as well as the Eastern Orthodox Church, but is also an inspiration for postmodern 'deconstruction'. Negative theology is a way of speaking beyond all logical speech by logically going beyond logic. What exactly such speaking entails about that is a matter of great misunderstanding, precisely where one thinks one is following Dionysius. Reading Dionysius himself and listening to what he has to say to us in his little tract 'Mystical theology' can solve or, on the contrary, increase all misunderstandings if one reads from the bias of what negative theology should be. Reading Dionysius himself is difficult, which is why this book contains two word-for-word explanations of 'Mystical Theology'.This will help enlighten not only the layman the at first sight obscure tract of Dionysius, but precisely and rather also the 'expert'. From the words of Dionysius himself, the meaning of those words will be explained from which emerges a Dionysius that the world has not seen before, but should see. A book for every religious person who can learn from this book that God is more than creator. There is one God and God is One, is the One. That One should not be thought of from the number 1, but rather the undivisble ∞. The One not as 1, but as indivisible in itself and unique to us. God is Almighty. Dionysius shows us something of that transcendent transpersonal Omnipotence...and how to get there.This book has been translated from Dutch into English via the translation machine DeepL in 2023.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/818/599/9798185997222_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "23.00", "online_price" : "23.00", "our_price" : "23.00", "club_price" : "23.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
