Mystical Christianity This term describes various Christian ascetic traditions that sought a personal vision of God and made use of Neoplatonic ideas. Mystical Christianity has been part of the religion from its beginning in the first century. Notable Christian mystics are Ramon Hull (1236-1315), St. Francis of Assisi (1181 or 1182-1226), Meister Eckhart (c.1260-c.1328), and Teresa of Avila (1515-1582).
