A 16th-century mystic, St. John of the Cross was also a Carmelite monk who helped reform the Order. In this book, he addresses pride, avarice, envy, and other human imperfections. He also provides an extended explanation of Divine love, and describes methods of conversion through prayer, submission, and purification.
作者简介 Mirabai Starr, who has studied Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism, brings the seeker’s sensibility to Dark Night of the Soul. She is a published writer of fiction and essays, and is adjunct professor of philosophy, religious studies and Spanish at the University of New Mexico at Taos. She has been studying St John of the Cross’s text for over twenty years. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

As a Carmelite monk, the 16th-century Spanish mystic St. John of the Cross was well trained in the systematic theology of St. Thomas Aquinas. In Dark Night of the Soul, St. John's sharply organized mind gives clean shape to his mystical belief in a loving Being somewhere outside the realm of feeling, thought, or imagination, who can only be known through love. Dark Night of the Soul describes the process of purgation, first of senses, and then of spirit, that precedes the soul's loving union with God. To quote from this book would detract from the coiled power of its tightly focused picture of the soul's progress; suffice it to say that there has never been a better book for discouraged Christians. When you cannot understand what or why you believe, but you find yourself unable to abandon faith, look to St. John for help. --Michael Joseph Gross --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
