Methexis: Experiencing God's Unanticipated Presence

To participate in God is to awaken to the mystery of being itself. The early Christian term methexis-participation-names the soul's real share in the divine life, not by assimilation, but by communion. In this anthology of meditations and prayers, drawn from the writings of the great mystics and theologians of the Christian tradition-Pseudo-Dionysius, Gregory of Nyssa, Maximus the Confessor, Eriugena, Eckhart, Nicholas of Cusa, Bulgakov, Lossky, Hart, and Marion-Philip Krill curates a luminous symphony of voices that lead the reader beyond thought into contemplation.
