Dionysius The Areopagite: The Mystical Theology And The Celestial Hierarchies

Dionysius The Areopagite: The Mystical Theology And The Celestial Hierarchies is a book written by Dionysius the Areopagite, a Christian theologian from the 5th century. The book is divided into two parts, the first being The Mystical Theology and the second being The Celestial Hierarchies. In The Mystical Theology, Dionysius explores the nature of God and the way in which humans can approach and understand God through mystical experience. He discusses the limitations of language and logic in describing God and argues that true knowledge of God can only be obtained through direct experience. In The Celestial Hierarchies, Dionysius describes the hierarchy of angels and their roles in the divine order. He divides the angels into three groups, each with their own specific duties and responsibilities. He also explores the nature of the soul and its relationship to the divine order. Overall, Dionysius The Areopagite: The Mystical Theology And The Celestial Hierarchies is a profound and complex work that delves into the deepest mysteries of Christianity. It offers a unique perspective on the nature of God and the spiritual realm, and has had a significant influence on Christian theology and mysticism throughout history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
