The Interior Castle

By Teresa d'Avila, Teresa of Ávila, Saint Teresa of Jesus

Book Overview

Modern English Version with Notes and Commentary
A masterpiece of Christian spirituality and one of the great landmarks of universal mystical literature, The Interior Castle by Saint Teresa of vila has, for centuries, illuminated the inner journey of those who long for a living and transformative relationship with God. This edition, carefully rendered into contemporary Spanish, allows today's reader to access the profound symbolism of this spiritual itinerary toward divine union with clarity and depth.
The accompanying commentaries aim to bridge the five-hundred-year cultural gap between the sixteenth century and the modern reader. They explain the context, the implicit theology, and the spiritual experience that the Carmelite saint communicates in her unique style: intimate, passionate, rich in practical wisdom, and steeped in mystical depth.
Both those beginning their interior life and those already familiar with the Teresian tradition will find in these pages a trustworthy, reverent, and loving guide for entering the soul's castle and traveling-hand in hand with Teresa-the path toward the center, where the Beloved dwells.

Interior Castle

What can you say about one of the greatest theologists of all times? This book will bring new insight for all of those interested in spiritual growth.

The Interior Castle, translation by Mirabai Starr

This is a brilliant translation. I work as a spiritual director and have recommended this and her other books to all my "directees." But more than that-- it reads like a novel. Such a difference from the stilted formal translations of earlier centuries. It brings St. Theresa alive, and as you read you'll feel you are having a spiritual experience yourself. You put down the book resonating, and her words will stay with you for days.

Spare the time

Spirituality development and growth can be difficult in these modern times. St Teresa's life and spiritual journey can easily be taken in small doses and applied daily. Her mystical visions can be understood personaly - a rare treat.
