Publisher's Synopsis
The Life and Letters of St. Teresa V2 is a book written by Henry James Coleridge that provides a comprehensive account of the life and works of St. Teresa of Avila. The book is divided into two volumes, with the second volume focusing on the letters written by St. Teresa, which offer insights into her spiritual journey and the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated society. The book covers St. Teresa's early life, her entry into the Carmelite order, her mystical experiences, and her efforts to reform the order. Coleridge draws on a range of sources, including St. Teresa's own writings, the accounts of her contemporaries, and later biographical works, to provide a rich and nuanced portrait of this important figure in Christian history. The book will be of interest to scholars of religious history, as well as to anyone interested in the life and work of St. Teresa of Avila.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
