Beschreibung

Written in the 16th century by a reform-minded Carmelite monk, "Dark Night of the Soul" is a treatise focusing on the metaphor of a dark night to represent a lonely phase in one's personal spiritual life. Saint John was a Roman Catholic mystic and a Spanish poet, and this work reflects his mystical stages toward union with God. Divided into two books, the purification of the senses and the spirit, "Dark Night" describes these two phases and additionally explains the ten steps of the ladder of love, which was first expressed by Saint Thomas Aquinas. In Saint John's poem, one comes to understand his belief in a benevolent God, outside of all thought or imagination, who we can only come to know through love. A profound description of absolution, desolation, progress, and love, "Dark Night of the Soul" is a powerful work that captures the discouragement of doubt, as it offers help through spiritual loneliness. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Über den Autor

St. John of the Cross, born Juan de Yepes y Álvarez in 1542, was a Spanish mystic and poet who played a major role in the Counter-Reformation. After a difficult early life marked by poverty, he became a Carmelite friar and studied theology at the University of Salamanca. His encounter with St. Teresa of Ávila in 1567 led him to join her reform of the Carmelite Order, focusing on a return to its original contemplative lifestyle.Despite his spiritual commitment, John faced significant opposition, including imprisonment and mistreatment by his own order for his role in the reforms. During this time, he wrote some of his most important works, including Dark Night of the Soul, which became foundational for Christian mysticism. His poetry, rich in symbolic and allegorical imagery, reflects the soul's journey toward union with [...]. John of the Cross was canonized in 1726 and declared a Doctor of the Church for his profound contributions to Christian theology and spirituality. His legacy continues to inspire spiritual seekers worldwide, particularly through his exploration of the transformative nature of suffering and contemplation.
