Publisher's Synopsis
Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket
In a mystical journey through the depths of spiritual desolation, a soul faces profound trials and challenges in search of divine union. Stripped of comfort and certainty, the seeker must endure darkness, doubt, and a sense of abandonment by God. Along the way, moments of deep introspection reveal the nature of faith and the transformative power of suffering. The soul's perseverance leads to a gradual awakening, uncovering a path toward deeper spiritual enlightenment.
Dark Night of the Soul holds a profound place in spiritual and literary history, offering one of the most influential explorations of mysticism in the Christian tradition. Written in the 16th century during the height of the Spanish Inquisition, St. John of the Cross's work delves into the transformative power of spiritual suffering. His reflections have inspired theologians, philosophers, and poets, shedding light on the universal human experience of doubt and faith. The text remains a timeless guide for those seeking deeper meaning in their spiritual journeys.
