| dc.description.abstract | This
thesis
is
an
analysis
of
St.
John
of
the
Cross’
treatise
The
Dark
Night
of
the
Soul
from
an
Eastern
Orthodox
perspective,
focusing
on
elements
of
classical
theology
of
théosis
and
liminality
within
the
text.
Using
Vladimir
Lossky’s
view
on
Orthodox
mystical
theology
as
well
as
ritual
theory
and
theories
of
liminality
from
Victor
Turner
and
Arnold
van
Gennep
the
study
examines
whether
or
not
it
is
possible
to
speak
about
théosis
in
Western
mystical
teachings
and
practises,
and
if
Dark
Night
can
be
viewed
as
an
example
of
such
a
teaching.
This
thesis
thus
seeks
to
answer
two
main
questions,
namely
whether
St
John
of
the
Cross’
treatise
can
be
said
to
be
an
example
of
théosis
theology
written
in
Western
form,
and
if
the
trials
of
the
Dark
Night
can
be
said
to
be
a
form
of
socio-‐ontological
process
of
change,
either
partially
or
completely.
The
method
used
in
the
work
is
a
modified
version
of
the
textual
analysis
described
in
Carl-‐Henric
Grenholm’s
book
Att
förstå
religion:
metoder
för
teologisk
forskning,
focusing
on
central
themes
and
ideas,
and
key
words
related
to
théosis.
The
theoretical
perspective
for
the
thesis
has
been
based
in
Eastern
Orthodox
mystical
theology,
and
the
central
aim
has
been
to
offer
a
response
to
Vladimir
Lossky’s
critique
of
the
Western
Church
as
having
forgotten
its
mystical
roots.
Key
findings
are
that
the
Dark
Night
as
a
process
has
strong
elements
of
both
liminality
and
socio-‐ontological
transformation,
and
that
the
language
of
St.
John
is
very
similar
to
that
of
early
Orthodox
theologians,
with
clear
apophatic
terminology. | sv |
