The year 1200 marks a dynamic turning point in the history of Christian mysticism. New forms of religious life provided the impetus for a 'new Mysticism' whose influence continues today. Volume III of the Presence of God documents the spirited dialogue between men and women that made possible the richness of mysticism in the 13th and 14th centuries. Never before has the theological and spiritual significance of this unprecedented era been explored with such freshness and depth.
