The Transforming Presence of Mystery: A Perspective of Spiritual Theology

Spiritual Theology’s journey through these last decades shows an

itinerary of development, the fruit of which is an ever more solid

identity. This book seeks to present a perspective in that

itinerary and in tune with the signs of our times: on one hand, militant

secularism and, on the other, a widespread, concrete resurgence of

experiences of transcendence. In this sense, I am presenting a path of

study organized around five concepts: presence, mystery, transcendence,

lived experience, and transformation. In effect, the inner

transformation worked by the Presence of Mystery leaves a new knowing,

in which the relationship with reality is renewed, since it has expanded

and dilated beyond sensible perception, opening the subject up to an

unlimited and real horizon of transcendence. The awareness of perceiving

a “greater reality’ within reality leaves an emotional resonance that

teaches a new way of feeling and reacting in the face of sensibly

perceived reality.
