The Mysticism of Ordinary Life: Theology, Philosophy, and Feminism presents a new vision of Christian mystical theology that draws on mystical traditions to affirm ordinary life, raise questions about normativity, gender, and race, and explore the mystical significance of philosophical discourses about immanence, alterity, in-betweenness, nothingness, and embodiment. It includes studies of Catholic theologians, postmodern philosophers, and intersectional feminists and expands the Western mystical canon with Latino/a and Black sources in North America.

The Mysticism of Ordinary Life: Theology,Philosophy,and Feminism presents a groundbreaking exploration of Christian mystical theology, offering critical interpretations from a diverse range of scholars. Drawing upon mystical traditions, these scholars affirm the significance of ordinary life and raise thought-provoking questions about normativity, gender, and race. They argue that the everyday experience of divine union can be a powerful catalyst for social transformation.
The book delves into Christian teachings on the Word made flesh, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the Christian spiritual life, while also exploring the mystical dimensions of philosophical discourses on immanence, alterity, in-betweenness, nothingness, and embodiment. The inclusion of Latino/a and Black sources in North America expands the Western mystical canon and fosters interdisciplinary dialogue.
The volume challenges contemporary culture to recognize and draw inspiration from the everyday manifestations of the unknown God of incarnate love. It includes in-depth studies of influential scholars such as Grace Jantzen, Amy Hollywood, Catherine Keller, Karl Rahner, Adrienne von Speyr, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Michel Henry, Michel de Certeau, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, Gloria Anzaldúa, Ada María Isasi-Díaz, Alice Walker, and M. Shawn Copeland.
Through their diverse perspectives and profound insights, these scholars contribute to a richer understanding of the mysticism of ordinary life and its potential for transformative change. The Mysticism of Ordinary Life: Theology,Philosophy,and Feminism offers a valuable resource for scholars, theologians, philosophers, and anyone seeking to explore the depths of spirituality and social justice.
