| Summary: | This study focusses on the proposition that there is no true antagonism between mystical experience and liturgical rites. Christian mysticism (which is subjective in the sense of an "immédiate" experience of God made by an idividual or by individuals) and Christian liturgy (which is objective in the sense of being prepared and institutionalized by the Church) are not in a contradictory but in a dialectical relation. Liturgy and sacraments establish one access to mystical experience. A historically structured analysis of texts by Johannes Cassian, Pseudo-Dionysius Areopagita, Gertrud d. Gr., Nikolaus Kabasilas, Marie de l'Incarnation und Pierre Teilhard de Chardin makes clear that influential mystical traditions of the Christian East as well as the West are primarily and substantially rooted in liturgy and sacramental rites. Subsequently, the study discusses a phenomenology and a typology of mysticism under systematic points of view (amongst others, liturgical mysticism suggests developing a more differentiated général concept of "subjectivity" and "objectivity" of Christian mysticism) and turns finally to issues of a criteriology of Christian mysticism. |
