The definitive three-volume edition of St Teresa of Avila's prose and poetry, in Professor E. Allison Peers's justly celebrated translation.
Shortly after writing The Book of Her Life for her confessor, St. Teresa wrote The Way of Perfection at the request of her nuns who were eager to learn about prayer and contemplation. Throughout this work she teaches her nuns about prayer and also teaches us. The Interior Castle is considered St. Teresa of Avila?s masterpiece. She wrote this last work in just a few months in 1577, five years before her death. At this point in her life she had been granted the highest mystical graces; this book is the fruit of her lived experience and a deep-felt praise of God for it. Using the image of a castle, Teresa describes the soul?s progressive inner journey through seven dwelling places, until finally reaching the center where, now transformed, it is united with God.--Publisher's website.
