The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church

Vladimir Lossky

In this classic study of Orthodox theology, Lossky states that "in a sense all theology is mystical, inasmuch as it shows forth the divine mystery: the data of revelation ... the eastern tradition has never made a sharp distinction between mysticism and theology, between personal experience of the divine mysteries and the dogma affirmed by the Church." The term "mystical theology" denotes the realm of human experience, that which is accessable yet inaccessable; those things understood yet surpassing all knowledge.
