  • The persecution of mystics
    Apr 17 2025

    Why do so many mystics endure investigations, persecutions, and even imprisonment and execution? Mystics are always a potential challenge to church and civil authorities. If they are close to God – or united with God – they can claim higher authority than anyone else. Nevertheless, there are also any mystics who escaped close scrutiny and persecution.

  • St. Thérèse of Lisieux: The anti-mystic mystic
    Mar 20 2025

    St. Thérèse of Lisieux (1873–1897) was a French Carmelite nun and a Doctor of the Church. She is known for her autobiography, Story of a Soul, which is still a popular spiritual read today. She is one of the most popular saints of the 20th century and still very popular today. St. Thérèse was never known for exhibiting the physical phenomena or ecstasies many other mystics throughout history have shown, and actually considered herself an anti-mystic. However, her deep understanding of scripture and her connection to God shows she definitely had a mystical connection to the divine.

  • Love in Christian Mysticism
    Feb 20 2025

    Love is an absolutely essential component of Christian mysticism. It is the driving force as well as the ultimate goal: to know God and to love God. But like all other aspects of Christian mysticism, it is deeply wrapped in paradox.

An authoritative historical review of Christian mysticism

Dr. Eire is a thoughtful commentator on the history of Christian mysticism. Human experience of the preternatural is ubiquitous. Dr. Eire's explanation gives the mystical a substantial presence in intellectually. You can believe or not believe, but an honest listener needs to deal with the human experience of the mystical.
