Mysticism and the Doctrine of Deification is a scholarly work written by W.R. Inge, a renowned British philosopher and theologian. The book explores the concept of deification, which refers to the idea that human beings can become divine or godlike. Inge examines this concept through the lens of mysticism, drawing on the writings of Christian mystics such as Meister Eckhart and St. John of the Cross, as well as the works of other religious traditions such as Hinduism and Buddhism. Inge explores the various ways that mystics have sought to achieve deification, including through ascetic practices, meditation, and contemplation. He also discusses the theological implications of deification, including its relationship to the doctrine of the Trinity and the nature of God. The book is written in a scholarly style, with extensive footnotes and references to primary sources. It will be of interest to scholars of theology, philosophy, and religious studies, as well as anyone interested in the history of mysticism and the concept of deification.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Christian Mysticism, by W.
