Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, a medieval monk, describes mystical knowledge as being “at one with Him Who is indescribable.”

Wright paraphrases the hilariously named philosopher Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, writing that “the definer of all things” is “beyond wisdom, beyond denial.”

The church is dedicated to Saint Dionysius the Areopagite, the 1st century Athens judge who converted to Christianity and became the city's patron saint.

The second chapter covers the rise of monasticism, making a bold claim for the continuing influence of the mystical writings once attributed to Dionysius the Areopagite.

The first uninspired teacher of this mystic theology is thought to have been Dionysius the Areopagite, and the martyred Bishop of Athens, or, as some say, of Paris.
