Synopsis:
Saint John of the Cross is one of Christianity greatest poets and mystics. Nevertheless, his subject matter and writing style, coupled with his use of Scholastic terminology, can make his prose difficult to understand and intimidating.
Readers of The Ascent of Mount Carmel: Reflections will thank Father Marc Foley for making John s thought accessible and refreshingly contemporary. The author shares with contemporary spiritual seekers his seasoned wisdom, gleaned from years of reading and teaching John of the Cross. He deftly weaves together insights from psychology, theology, and literature to make The Ascent of Mount Carmel both understandable and relevant to daily life.
About the Author: Marc Foley, OCD, is a Discalced Carmelite priest and the prior of the Carmelite Monastery in Washington, D.C.
