Reading the Epistle of James as a Mystical Text

….mysticism is an existential attitude, a way of living at a greater depth. 

Jean-Caude Barreau in his Preface to Clément, Olivier. The Roots of Christian Mysticism: Texts from the Patristic Era with Commentary, published by New City, London, 2nd edition 2017

Mysticism is simply living with the mystery of God's love. It is what the Christian life is all about! It's about deep living in God.

“..... the mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations but has now been revealed to his saints. To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
Colossians 1.25-26 NRSV

The paraphrases are all by me. It's very much a work in progress.
