In this captivating audio series, narrated by none other than Harvey Egan himself, we explore an often overlooked aspect of Paul's brilliance - his mysticism. Drawing from his incredible sixty-year journey as a Jesuit spiritualist and theological scholar, Fr. Egan, a mentee of the renowned Karl Rahner, takes us on an enlightening adventure through the mystical world of Paul.
Prepare to be enthralled as one of the world's foremost authorities on Christian mysticism guides us through this course. Fr. Egan reveals to us why Paul has been hailed as the second founder of Christianity (albeit perhaps a bit excessively) and argues that Paul should be recognized as the true originator and first expositor of Christian theology. In fact, Fr. Egan even goes as far as to see Paul as a second Jesus, similar to how Jesus himself interpreted the scriptures for the Emmaus disciples. With an illuminating perspective, Paul reinterprets the Jewish Scriptures through the lens of Christ, the Messiah, and the Holy Spirit.
We embark on a journey through Paul's transformation on the Damascus Road, discovering that he possessed a profound awareness of the immediate presence of the triune God in Christ. This early usage of the term 'mystical' shows us Paul's ability to discern Christ's presence within the Jewish scriptures, a remarkable feat.
