Synopsis: Very few spiritual classics from centuries past offer real guidance for entering into the darkness and light of Christian mysticism. Notoriously difficult to understand, this contemporary translation of one of the most popular texts from the late Middle Ages is different: It offers an accessible invitation to the reader to enter into an engagement with God, through this cloud of unknowing. Mystical concepts are explained in everyday language. Written by an anonymous fourteenth-century author,The Cloud of Unknowingwas originally prepared for cloistered monks. Yet it has found centuries of readers from all walks of life. Each brief chapter offers the spiritual seeker a way to enter into the life of prayer and appeals to the readers common sense in beginning steps on the path to knowing a God beyond all knowing.
