From Publishers Weekly
"The soul must pass through the dark night of the senses because all the passions it feels for created things are pure darkness in God's eyes," wrote the Spanish mystic Saint John of the Cross in the late 16th century. In Ascent of Mount Carmel: John of the Cross, John discusses the soul's need to pass through spiritual darkness before union with the divine can be possible. In a beautiful text that has been "edited and mildly modernized" by Henry Carrigan Jr., John offers an early treatise on his spiritual poetry, outlining themes that he fleshed out more fully in his more famous later work, Dark Night of the Soul.

Called "the most sublime of all the Spanish mystics," distinguished Carmelite monk John of the Cross holds a singular place in the world of mystical theology. ASCENT OF MOUNT CARMEL, the first of his treatises, presents a remarkable outline of Christian perfection from first seeking God to ultimate union with God. Reissued to coincide with the 400th anniversarv of the saint's death, the book is a series of lengthy meditations on a brief mystical poem. Noteworthy for its detailed psychological analysis, its contribution to ascetical theology, its step~by~step survey of a soul's progress in the life of the spirit, and the author's poetic vision, ASCENT possesses an intensity and literary distinction rare in mystical writing. Since its first English~language publication, this classic work has enjoyed tremendous ecumenical appeal. And this translation has been uniformly hailed as the finest ever to appear. No Christian library should be without it. Seller Inventory # 11302202
