St. John of the Cross Bücher

Exploring the journey of the Soul through earthly and spiritual challenges, this work delves into the "Dark Night of the Soul" in pursuit of divine union. Divided into three sections, it serves as a commentary on four poetic stanzas by St. John, illustrating the process of shedding worldly attachments. The text is celebrated as a significant contribution to Christian mysticism, emphasizing the transformative experience of seeking a deeper connection with God.

The fourth centenary of the death of St. John of the Cross inspired this revised edition of the English translation of his writings. The result is an edition that preserves the true meaning of the great mystic's writings, presents them as clearly as possible, and at the same time gives the reader the doctrinal and historical information that will lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the teachings of the Mystical Doctor. Included in The Collected Works are St. John's poetry, The Ascent of Mount Carmel, The Dark Night, The Spiritual Canticle, and The Living Flame of Love, as well as his letters and other counsels. There is a general introduction for the entire work and brief, enlightening introductions for each specific work, explaining theme and structure. Enhancing these are the new footnotes, glossary of terms, and index.

Wie gelangen wir zu echter innerer Freiheit? Wie werden wir sensibler für das Wesentliche? Mystik als Weg verständlich gemacht.

It explores themes of longing and spiritual pursuit, reflecting the soul's yearning for Jesus Christ. Accompanied by St. John of the Cross's detailed commentary, the poem serves as both a literary interpretation and a deeper meditation on love and faith.
