Andrew Louth examines all the traditions on which Denys' work draws: the Fourth Century Greek theologians, pagan philosophy and Syrian Christian thought. The corpus of Denys the Areopagite appeared in the sixth century and have since been deeply influential on Christian thinking both in East and West. Who their author was remains a mystery but in this book Professor Louth documents and comments on his compelling vision of the beauty of God's world and his revelation, together with his profound awareness of the ultimate mystery of the unknowable God who utterly transcends all being.

One of the greatest Christian mystics,
By A Customer
This review is from: Denys the Areopagite (Outstanding Christian Thinkers) (Hardcover)
Louth's introduction to Denys is outstanding. It provides helpful insights into the thought of a Christian mystical theologian whose insights played a large role in the formation of the traditional Western Roman liturgy and whose insights are still foundational to Eastern Orthodox conceptions of liturgy and theology. It is a shame that it is out of print. See Denys' complete works: "The Complete Works of Pseudo-Dionysius" published by Paulist Press.
