The Mysticism of Jesus and of Paul
Journal Title: Trabzon İlahiyat Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
One of the areas in which religions are expressing themselves are mystical interpretations that have deeper, more internal meanings. There are those who say that Christianity is a mystical religion from the outset, and there are also those who think that it has earned this mean from different traditions. In the modern era, mysticism is thought of as a medicine that will turn Christians back to their roots and solve the tension that people are in. In this respect, Jesus has regarded not only as a peripatetic preacher, a charismatic healer, an eschatological prophet, but a mystical leader and now. The Christian mystics emphasized the mystical dimension of Jesus and Paul by bringing references from the Bible. They have advised to believers to turn away from life of world, to be single and and to contemplate with heart filled by Holy Spirit, just like Jesus. This article examines the mystical thoughts of Jesus and Paul, who are two important figures for Christianity.Thus it offers a brief assessment of the origins of mystical Christianity that have became popular in modern period.
