Problem of the Origins of Christian Mysticism in the Light of Modern Research

Krzysztof Abucewicz

Abstract

Although the Christian mysticism went over the past century throughout abundant literature, it is difficult to find a work that is taking up this issue in a holistic manner and trying to capture the phenomenon in its entirety. A particular scarcity remains with regard to the origins of Christian mysticism. Four works, translated in recent decades into Polish, while undertaking the issues related to the early Christian mysticism, make significant omissions and narrowings in this area. They place the origins of Christian mysticism around Origen and combine them intellectually and spiritually with Greek influence. These works, marked with otherwise known names in the field of patristics in the international arena, are widely studied, and having gained considerable popularity and importance especially in the lecture at many Polish universities they imposed to some extent their perspective in contemporary research, as well as in the study and teaching.
