Mysticism In The Greek Church

By Robert A. Vaughan

Book Overview

Mysticism in the Greek Church is a book written by Robert A. Vaughan that explores the mystical traditions of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The book delves into the mystical practices and beliefs of the Greek Church, including the role of icons, the use of prayer, and the concept of theosis, or the process of becoming more like God. It also examines the lives and teachings of several prominent mystics in the Greek Church, such as St. Symeon the New Theologian and St. Gregory Palamas. Vaughan provides historical context and analysis of these mystics' writings, as well as their impact on the Greek Church and Christian mysticism as a whole.
