The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church

In this classic study of Orthodox theology, Losky states that 'in a certain sense, all theology is mystical, inasmuch as it shows forth the divine mystery: the data of revelation, the eastern tradition has never nade a sharp distinction between mysticism and theology, between personal experience of the divine mysteries and the dogma affirmed by the Church. ' The term 'mystical theology', denotes the realm of human experience, that which is accessible yet inaccessible, those things understood yet surpassing all knowledge.
