Book Reviews of The Foundations of Mysticism (Presence of God: a History of Western Christian Mysticism Vol. 1)
Book Review: A seminal work in the study of mysticism
Summary: 5 Stars
Bernard McGinn, a Professor of Divinity, is probably the best scholar on Christian mysticism around today. His knowledge of the Christian mystics is in depth and extensive (he has for example written a monograph on Eckhart) and this series represents an excellent introduction as well as a scholarly study of Christian mysticism, its forms, its influences, and its effects on Christianity.
Unfortunately McGinn (for understandable constraints of time and space) focuses on the Western rather than Eastern Christian mystical tradition, which is unfortunate, as his great learning would have thrown valuable light on that neglected area. Nevertheless, this series remains essential reading for anyone interested in Christian mysticism and its development.
