| Summary: | This paper examines the role of the Logos with regard to the expression of the mystical experience in the writings of St. John of the Cross. The term "mystical expression" is examined and a brief etymology of the Logos-concept is provided. The various writings of St. John are then examined with special attention to the influence of the Logos in the mystical expression of St. John of the Cross. After this, various aspects of the Logos are extrapolated from the latter analysis, such as the revelatory nature of the Logos, the creative nature of the Logos and the relationship between the Logos and the intellect. Finally, the significance of this excursus for the general study of spirituality is discussed. |
