This article offers a synthetic presentation of these traditions, sketching out its main articulations, its biblical-exegetical foundations, its points of continuity with the apocalyptic traditions of the Second Temple Era and parallels with the Rabbinic tradition.

A careful reading of this text shows that matter and body have become "transparent" to the creative energy of God which informs and sustains them. Dionysius is very much in concert with the Eastern tradition: essence-energies, the Transfiguration as model of the world to come, the icon as window on to eternity, the liturgy as the vision of the Kingdom, of the world transfigured, the mystery of the Incarnate One as at once present among us in the "veil" of His flesh and forever escaping our comprehension in the unsearchable depths of His divinity. Dionysius' approach to the Incarnation and the Liturgy as, yes, "symbols"—now only partially grasped and intuited, but in the world to come fully transparent to the divine mystery informing, and in Christ forever united to, the material cosmos-should sound for us no foreign note.
