Description
The Collected Works of Saint John of the Cross This revised edition of St. John of the Cross's writings marks the fourth centenary of his death, offering a comprehensive English translation of his works. The result is a collection that preserves the authentic meaning of the great mystic's writings, while providing the doctrinal and historical information needed for a deeper understanding of his teachings. The Collected Works includes St. John's poetry, as well as his influential works such as The Ascent of Mount Carmel, The Dark Night, The Spiritual Canticle, and The Living Flame of Love. In addition to these works, the collection also features his extant letters and other counsels. A comprehensive General Introduction and brief introductions to each specific work provide context and clarity, while new and expanded footnotes, a glossary of terms, and general and scriptural indices enhance the reader's understanding. This edition is enhanced by gray page tabs that separate the individual works, making it easier to locate a desired section.
