This thesis explores Paul Tillich's theology of mysticism and its spiritual theological implications. It argues that Tillich's concept of "baptized mysticism" weaves together his thoughts on mysticism and expresses a dialectical unity of Tillich's two essential elements of religion, the mystical and the prophetic. The thesis begins in Chapter 1 with an overview of Tillich's own experiences of the mystical and his definitive expressions of mysticism, then investigates his major writings in drawing out essential features of baptized mysticism in Chapter 2. In Chapter 3, various appraisals of Tillich's theory of mysticism from different vantage points and denominational backgrounds are presented to sharpen and enhance the understanding of his thoughts on mysticism and their spiritual theological implications. Finally, in conversation with some contemporary theorists of Christian spirituality, the thesis provides a modest proposal for Tillichian spirituality and prayer in Chapter 4. Paralleling aspects of the thought of Philip Sheldrake, Tillichian spirituality concerns the life oriented towards a sense of the "eternal now" and promotes not so much an ideal of a perfected state of being, but the "belief-ful" and courageous encounter of ontological threats and radical doubt in a condition of ever-increasing awareness, freedom, relatedness, and transcendence. A Tillichian saint is the mystic "wanderer" living on the boundary of the human limit and possibilities, in the unending desire of the "God above God." Tillich's baptized mysticism also proposes a life of contemplative prayer that has close affinities with Thomas Keating's Centering Prayer. This thesis shows that Tillich's theology of mysticism is cogent and coherent. It offers rich resources for understanding Christian mysticism and in grounding a Protestant theology of spirituality, one which provides effective guidelines for the spiritual life of Christians.
