The mystical theology of the Eastern Church

In this work, Lossky argues that all theology is mystical in the sense that it shows forth the divine mystery.

He emphasizes that the Eastern tradition has never made a sharp distinction between mysticism and theology, or between personal experience of the divine mysteries and the dogma affirmed by the Church.

The book delves into the concepts of apophaticism, asceticism, the Holy Trinity, uncreated energies of the Godhead, and the goal of Christian mysticism, which is theosis or union with God. Lossky draws heavily from the great mystical theologians of the Eastern Church to illustrate the inherent unity of thought on mysticism in the Eastern tradition.
