Christian mystics

The book “Christian mystics” by the prominent contemporary mystic scholar Ms. Andreheil aims to provide a report on the spiritual history and mysticism of Christianity by describing the lives of important Christian mystics. In this small book, one can only mention the richness and diversity of topics that anyone who wants to express the spiritual and mystical history of Christianity must address.

The book does not even claim to have provided a complete list of mystics, but rather focuses on a few selected individuals among the vast array of saintly mystics, whose personal greatness is largely dependent on their connection to the communal life of believers in Christ and their participation in this life.

The book explores the relationship between mystics and the Christian community, namely that great and creative soul whose special experience of God extends to other Christians as well; someone who deepens the collective spiritual conscience and brings fresh news about eternal life.
