[edit] How can we improve this article?

The text is really good, but it creates the potentially mistaken impression that there is only one mystical theology, while in fact there are many authors with different persepectives as well as commonalities. My question is, does it make sense to subdivide the article into more sub-headings, and show contributions of several authors on each? Hust asking.

I've just done a minimum to create a short lead section, and add just a little context. Yes, it makes sense to introduce subsections to clarify different perspectives. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:19, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll make a try, please correct if you don't like it. There is another point I am wondering about. Is mystical theology limited to a certain time? Or, are modern writers like St. Terese of Lisseaux, a "Church doctor"!, or Thomas Merton (his early writings) candidates to be mentioned? I have no firm view on this.
