More Christ Episode Fifty Four: Dr Bernard McGinn: Christian Mysticism, East and West, and Across the Ages

Welcome to More Christ, where we seek to bring some of the world's most interesting and insightful guests to discuss life's central and abiding questions.  In this fifty fourth episode in a series of discussions, I'm joined by Dr. Bernard McGinn. Bernard is an American Roman Catholic theologian, religious historian, and scholar of spirituality. A specialist in Medieval mysticism, McGinn is widely regarded as the preeminent scholar of mysticism in the Western Christian tradition. He is best known for his comprehensive series on mysticism, The Presence of God. According to McGinn, "Even for people who may not have any religious commitment of their own, a study of the great mystics can reveal something about human creativity and genius."  If you would like to learn more about Dr. McGinn, please see the links below:
