Introduction
Having studied mysticism for nearly
20 years, both through reading and through practise, I wanted
to put my understanding on a more formal footing. To be more
precise, I wanted to know how scholars approached the
subject of mysticism, and was delighted to find just the course
to help me understand this: the MA Studies in Mysticism and Religious
Experience at the University of Kent at Canterbury.
I spent two fruitful years from 1994
to 1996 attending the part-time course in Canterbury, meeting
many new friends of mysticism amongst the staff and students.
I am particularly indebted to Dr Peter Moore, Dr Leon Schlamm,
and Dr Roger Cardinal from the teaching team.
The essays included in this section
are all coursework for the MA and reflect my own opinions, not
necessarily those of the staff at Canterbury. |
