Description

Explore the religious and political landscape of sixth century Syria through this scholarly examination of Pseudo-Dionysius. This book investigates the anonymous theologian responsible for the nine orders of the angelic hierarchy, a structure that shaped mediaeval European mysticism. Rosemary Arthur moves beyond simple analysis of thought to uncover the hidden agenda within these writings. By focusing on the sources and treatment of the Angelic Hierarchy and the Dazzling Darkness, this work provides a fresh perspective on a foundational theological figure. Researchers and students of theology will find value in the new evidence presented to establish a more accurate dating of the corpus. This study places the writings within their proper historical context, offering a clear look at the motivations behind the influential texts that shaped religious history.
