The Christian tradition was rooted in the wisdom and teaching of Jesus Christ. From the desert mothers and fathers, to the convents of old, to the visions of saints, mystical theology assumes that God is not “out there,” but right here waiting for us to find them. God desires all of us beyond the pew on Sunday morning and we can experience that God right now.
Mystical theology is about experiencing God, not merely wrapping our heads around how God works. It’s by experiencing the divine’s work in us that we we are lost in grace.
