Ok, so I generally enjoy mystics (as John was, born Juan del Yepes) but I'm also very leary of them because I seek accurate biblical truth or biblical theology above all... but this is very powerful and thought provoking. I especially enjoyed chapter 2 on pride. Only listened to 5 of the chapters so far but wasn't expecting this to be as good as it is... It just would be really nice to know what book version is being read (there are many) so as to follow along with the audio reading (this helps also with considering what is true and might not be). I found a free online version but the content is not exactly the same. Another area that Logos could improve and even sell a few books, providing the companion book with the audio or at least offering it. You should be aware of what most consider was an influence by "pseudo-Dionysius" thinking upon John's writing. According to pseudo-Dionysius, God is better characterized and approached by negations than by affirmations. All names and theological representations must be negated. According to pseudo-Dionysius, when all names are negated, "divine silence, darkness, and unknowing" will follow. To me, this is disconcerting. That said, a good bible student would enjoy this and should not be led astray.
