What is The Complete Works (transl. Rev. John Parker) about?

"There is still no adequate English translation of the Dionysian corpus. The best, [is] that of John Parker..." - Prof. Eric D. Perl, Loyola Marymount University LA. [Author of "Theophany: The Neoplatonic Philosophy of Dionysius the Areopagite"]This publication presents the full Corpus Areopagiticum - one of the most influential and profound bodies of Christian Theology to date - in a magnanimous and beautifully woven translation from the Greek by Rev. John Parker. Included is Parker's defence of its authenticity, which is to say, that the writings therein are indeed not that of a 6th Century Monk and student of Proclus, but rather that it is of Dionysius the convert of Act 17, pupil of St. Paul, Saint, Martyr and first Bishop of Athens. Acts 17:22-23 | "So Paul stood up in full view of the Areopagus, and said, Men of Athens, wherever I look I find you scrupulously religious. Why, in examining your monuments as I passed by them, I found among others an altar which bore the inscription, To the "unknown God". And it is this unknown object of your devotion that I am revealing to you."
