- Christian Mysticism
Christian mystics, such as Meister Eckhart and St. John of the Cross, often used paradoxical language to describe the experience of God. Eckhart, for instance, spoke of the "God beyond God," a concept meant to push believers beyond their ordinary understanding of the divine.
The teachings of the Desert Fathers and Christian contemplatives sometimes include sayings and stories that challenge straightforward interpretation, much like koans.
