Why do we, as contemporary scholars of Christian medieval mysticism,

privilege the reading of medieval mystical texts as our focus? How can

we define their ability to uniquely address relevant issues for readers

today, without losing our attention to their historical integrity? These

meta-questions encourage contributors of this volume to reflect

critically on their own approaches to medieval mysticism from theology,

philosophy of religion, hermeneutics in literature, and religious

studies. Their diverse accounts for the meaningfulness of the study of

medieval mysticism attest to the possibility of renewing a greater

continuity of the heritage of medieval Christian spirituality in our

time.
