L’excès cruciforme. Stanislas Breton et la théologie mystique chrétienne - 2015.
30
This essay offers a reading of Stanislas Breton’s Deux mystiques de l’excès : J.-J. Surin et Maître Eckhart. It identifies three interrelated types of cruciform excess that appear in this book. “Cruciform excess” is a general name for certain permanently troubling and irreconciliable tensions that shape Christian (and other kinds of) mystical experience and that stand under the shadow of the cross. There is a polarity between the one and the many, a boundary-blurring relation between God and creation, and a struggle between the divine and the demonic. Breton’s discussion of these three types of cruciform excess manifests his distinctive contribution to philosophical and theological debates regarding the enduring significance of Christian mysticism today.
