Reviews for The Mystery of Union with God: Dionysian Mysticism in Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas (Thomistic Ressourcement Series)
An important contribution to the research on Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas, especially concerning the reception of Dionysian theology. Based on a broad selection of texts, the Dionysian Mysticism in these authors is presented in an extensive manner. Fills a gap in the scholastic research. - Dr. Maria Burger, Albertus-Magnus-Institut, Bonn, Germany
