Synopsis
The Ascent Of Mount Carmel is part of four works by John dealing with the "Dark Night of the Soul", when the individual Soul undergoes earthly and spiritual privations in search of union with God. Along with The Dark Night Of The Soul, The Living Flame of God, and the Spiritual Canticle, The Ascent Of Mount Carmel is regarded as one of the greatest works of mysticism in Christianity. In The Ascent Of Mount Carmel St John of the Cross illustrates the Soul's progress to the summit of the metaphorical Mt Carmel where God is encountered. The book is divided into three sections and is presented as a commentary on four poetic stanzas by John on the subject of the Dark Night. He shows how the Soul sets out to leave all worldly ties and appetites behind to achieve "nothing less than transformation in God". Saint John of the Cross was a major figure of the Counter-Reformation, a Spanish mystic, Catholic saint, Carmelite friar and priest. He was also a reformer of the Carmelite Order and is considered, along with Saint Teresa of Ávila, as a founder of the Discalced Carmelites.

Called "the most sublime of all the Spanish mystics," distinguished Carmelite monk John of the Cross holds a singular place in the world of mystical theology. ASCENT OF MOUNT CARMEL, the first of his treatises, presents a remarkable outline of Christian perfection from first seeking God to ultimate union with God. Reissued to coincide with the 400th anniversarv of the saint's death, the book is a series of lengthy meditations on a brief mystical poem. Noteworthy for its detailed psychological analysis, its contribution to ascetical theology, its step~by~step survey of a soul's progress in the life of the spirit, and the author's poetic vision, ASCENT possesses an intensity and literary distinction rare in mystical writing. Since its first English~language publication, this classic work has enjoyed tremendous ecumenical appeal. And this translation has been uniformly hailed as the finest ever to appear. No Christian library should be without it. Seller Inventory # 11302202
