310 Mystics

 

What are mystics? Are you a mystic? Can a Christian be a mystic? This course is designed to explore mysticism by looking at the lives of mystics and learning about how they developed into who they became. What was it about their development, their family, their culture, or their context that led them to live the kind of lives that we read and think about hundreds and thousands of years later?
