The Mystical—or What Theology can Show
The Oxford Handbook of Mystical Theology February 25, 2020 Jean-Luc Marion
In an age of skepticism, the concept of 'the mystical' is often seen as problematic, challenging the credibility of theology as a discipline that deals with sacred mystery. Like phenomenology, theology can reveal what shows itself while remaining unsayable, though the two disciplines cannot be collapsed into one. A mutual relationship between phenomenology and mystical theology can open both to the phenomenality of the mystical, potentially redefining our notions of mystery.
