Mysticism and Protestantism: affinities and rejection (16th-19th centuries)- Céline Borello
- Introduction
- To begin this summary, the rejection of mysticism by contemporary Protestantism should be established
- The first route to consider is clearly that of Martin Luther, who was initially close to mysticism.
- Another waymark in the link between mysticism and modern Protestantism is Jacob Böhme (1575-1624)
- A final waymark of this encounter between Protestantism and mysticism is Gerhard Tersteegen (1697-1769)
