The author of this work identifies himself as Dionysios the Areopagite, the Athenian convert of St. Paul the Apostle mentioned in Acts 17:34. There are various legends surrounding the figure of Dionysius, who became a symbol of the spread of the gospel to the Greek world.
A tradition quickly arose that he was the first bishop of Cyprus or of Milan, and that he authored the Epistle to the Hebrews. According to Eusebius, he was the first bishop of Athens.
The Dionysian writings and their mystical teaching were almost universally accepted throughout the East - both among Chalcedonians and non-Chalcedonians. They also had a strong impact in later medieval Western mysticism. Its influence decreased in the West with the 15th-century claims that it had a later date.
In this audiobook, there is an emphasis on the ineffability of God (incapable of being expressed - the Divine Dark) otherwise known as a "negative" approach to God.
