Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite is an important and influential Christian author who wrote in the 5th or 6th century. Even though it is now recognized that the attribution of these works to the Dionysius mentioned in Acts 17:34 is false, they're still incredibly important for the history of Christian doctrine due to their influence on Eastern and Medieval Christianity and the Christian contemplative tradition.
The Works of Dionysius the Areopagite (2 vols.) contains the English translations of all the works attributed to Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite from the original Greek, as well as introductions to the works by translator John Parker. These works include Divine Names, Mystical Theology, Celestial Hierarchy, Ecclesiastical Hierarchy, and eleven epistles.
With the Logos Bible Software edition all Scripture passages in the The Works of Dionysius the Areopagite (2 vols.) are tagged and appear on mouse-over. This makes this resource more powerful and easier to access than ever before for scholarly work or personal Bible study. With the advanced search features of Logos Bible Software, you can perform powerful searches by topic or scripture reference—finding, for example, every mention of “angel,” or “prayer.”
Dionysius was a profound and subtle thinker. His works mark the complete interfusion of ecclesiastical Christianity with Oriental mysticism. And his doctrine exerted a powerful influence upon the religious thought of England, from the twelfth century to the sixteenth.
