This book sheds light on selected pioneers in Christian mysticism and Christian spirituality, whose limpid vision found the path to reclaim the lost serene purity of the human spirit, and whose genuine austerity may rightfully be considered a major help in re-instituting human dignity.
Through the different papers that were presented by academic scholars from the different walks of Academia, the book calls for the renewal of the intimate relation between the Creator and the created.
هذا الكتاب يسلّط الأضواء على نخبة من الروّاد في التراث المسيحيّ الروحانيّ والصوفيّ، امتازوا بصفاء الرؤيا، فاستعادوا توهّج الطهارة الروحانيّة، وأعادوا فتح الطريق أمام استرجاع الانسان لكرامته الوجوديّة المفقودة.
إنّه، من خلال الأوراق المختلفة التي قدّمها اختصاصيّون من مشارب علميّة وعالميّة منوّعة، يجدّد النداء إلى تجديد العلاقة الحميمة ما بين المخلوق والخالق.
