My Favourite Mystic 35: Pablo Acosta-García on Juana de la Cruz
Manage episode 331226542 series 3238810
This week AJ Langley is joined by Pablo Acosta-García to discuss the Franciscan abbess, preacher, and mystic Juana de la Cruz (1481-1534). We talked about her mystical preaching, God's voice speaking through her body (in a deep register), a reader scandalised by God being compared to things, and how entertaining a sermon would have to be in order to keep audience's attention for six hours! We also chat about the need to view the mystics of the late-medieval period as interconnected, rather than separating them along regional lines, and the complex issue of translating an experience into words.
