Christian mysticism
Christian mysticism refers to the development of mystical practices and theory within Christianity. It has often been connected to mystical theology, especially in the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christianity both the Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodox traditions.
The attributes and means by which Christian mysticism is studied and practiced are varied and range from ecstatic visions of the soul's mystical union with God to simple prayerful contemplation of Holy Scripture (i.e., Lectio Divina).
==Etymology==
"Mysticism" is derived from the Greek μυω, meaning "to conceal",〔 and its derivative , ''mystikos'', meaning 'an initiate'. In the Hellenistic world, a "mystikos" was an initiate of a mystery religion. "Mystical" referred to secret religious rituals〔(Gellman, Jerome, "Mysticism", The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Summer 2011 Edition), Edward N. Zalta (ed.) )〕 and use of the word lacked any direct references to the transcendental.
In early Christianity the term ''mystikos'' referred to three dimensions, which soon became intertwined, namely the biblical, the liturgical and the spiritual or contemplative. The biblical dimension refers to "hidden" or allegorical interpretations of Scriptures.〔 The liturgical dimension refers to the liturgical mystery of the Eucharist, the presence of Christ at the Eucharist.〔 The third dimension is the contemplative or experiential knowledge of God.
