Why do we, as contemporary scholars of Christian medieval mysticism, privilege the reading of medieval mystical texts as our focus? How canwe define their ability to uniquely address relevant issues for readerstoday, without losing our attention to their historical integrity? Thesemeta-questions encourage contributors of this volume to reflectcritically on their own approaches to medieval mysticism from theology, philosophy of religion, hermeneutics in literature, and religiousstudies. Their diverse accounts for the meaningfulness of the study ofmedieval mysticism attest to the possibility of renewing a greatercontinuity of the heritage of medieval Christian spirituality in ourtime.
