JOUBERT, Lisel. John de Gruchy: A Reformed mystic?. STJ [online]. 2020, vol.6, n.1, pp.383-404. ISSN 2413-9467.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17570/stj.2020.v6n1.a20.

In this essay the life and some of the writings of John de Gruchy are revisited in light of a retrieval of an understanding of mysticism rooted in the Early Church. In revisiting the concept of mysticism through the work of different scholars the question is posed whether the work of John de Gruchy reflects this understanding of mysticism and if he can be seen as a Reformed Mystic.

Keywords : Mysticism; Reformed spirituality; John de Gruchy.
