Episode 54: Dr Bernard McGinn: Christian Mysticism, East and West, and Across the Ages

[@jailtheology]

I am a PhD student at CIIS, studying medieval theology, focusing in on Francis of Assisi. Thank you Prof McGinn for all your work. I am reading your Mysticism volumes in full now. GOD's peace to you!

[@ShawshankSpirituality]

This book and video is truly a treasure! Thank You!

This has opened a new door for me, thank you! Jonathan Pageau brought me here - I like following up on leads! Something tells me I shall listen to quite a few of your videos....

Thanks Dr. McGinn! This is helpful to me as a Filipino Evangelical pastor.

[@jethrobradley7850]

Thank you. That was a very well-judged and informative interview

[@timpeterson3191]

Dr. McGinn is an inspiration. A decade or so ago he delivered a superb lecture about Meister Eckhart at the University of New Mexico. His broad learning and intellect inspired me and, I think, many others to explore the story of Christian mysticism. It opened my eyes.

Wonderful coverage. Can you ask Dr McGinn to consider Helen Waddell since she is over looked.

[@morarwen]

If you ever want to get back to discussing Christian mysticism, I very highly recommend the work of Carl McColman.

Thank you, Marie! I shall check Carl out. I hope to speak with Stephen K. Hatch soon. He has written in this area. :) Happy New Year and God bless you!

Can someone cite the French priest that goes to India that is mentioned at the end of his video?

[@transfiguredword]

Swami Abhishiktananda (Henri Le Saux) was a French Benedictine monk who went to India to establish a Indian Christian monasticism. Father Bede Griffiths did something similar as a British Benedictine monk, who moved to India to help establish a Christian ashram movement.
