De YHWH a YESHUA : a experiência da via mística steiniana

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the path of the mystical experience of Christian spiritual phenomenological progress in Edith Stein, Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942). It is about understanding, in the course of his work and thinking, the expansion of the spirituality of the philosopher who passes from the Jewish Tradition, in a crisis of faith when he questions YHWH, to a movement of relationship with Christianity, experienced in the Catholic Tradition in the radical following of YESHUA, the Christ, Messiah, Word Incarnate. Through the study of his work, in a hermeneutic perspective, it is intended to point out clues for the redefinition of the search for interior life in the contemporary subject. Interiority is constitutive of human life and the basis of religion and, therefore, a vital component for the full life of the person's uniqueness. It is a full life, of the spiritual being, a being able of God and of the mystical experience in his daily search, an experience that does not launch the human out of the world, but, in the deepest sense of his finitude.
