 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mystery
In the New Testament the word mystery is applied ordinarily to the sublime revelation of the Gospel (Matthew 13:11; Colossians 2:2; 1 Timothy 3:9; 1 Corinthians 15:51), and to the Incarnation and life of the Saviour and His manifestation by the preaching of the Apostles (Romans 16:25; Ephesians 3:4; 6:19; Colossians 1:26; 4:3).
Mystery, therefore, in its strict theological sense is not synonymous with the incomprehensible, since all that we know is incomprehensible, i.e., not adequately comprehensible as to its inner being; nor with the unknowable, since many things merely natural are accidentally unknowable, on account of their inaccessibility, e.g., things that are future, remote, or hidden.
Rationalists further object that the revelation of mysteries would be useless, since it is the nature of reason to accept only the evident (Toland), and since the knowledge of the incomprehensible can have no influence on the moral life of mankind (Kant).

 Mystery! - The Boston Globe
This month, Columbia University Press is bringing out her latest novel, ''Murder in Byzantium," a 250-page thriller-of-ideas (published in France in 2004, and translated into English by C. Jon Delogu) that ruminates about globalization, memory, the Crusades, Europe, love, motherhood, and modern spiritual malaise.
The book also differs from her earlier novels in its ''historic project" (as Kristeva puts it) namely its preoccupation with the era of the First Crusade.
Given the meteoric success of certain mysteries and thrillers with historical themes-"The Name of the Rose," ''The Rule of Four," ''The Da Vinci Code"-Kristeva's publisher may be hoping that her book, too, has crossover appeal.
