The History of the Spirituality of the Discalced Carmelites,
By A Customer
This review is from: Carmelite Spirituality in the Teresian Tradition (Paperback)
This book discusses the ancient beginnings of Carmel with Elijah, the prophet; what makes Carmel different from other spiritual traditions; the various aspects of the rule of Carmel; three primarily known Carmelites, St. Teresa, St. John of the Cross, and St. Therese; and finally the various forms of Carmelite prayer and meditation. An excellent overview.

Excellent resource,
By Margaret Dybala "too many books, too little time" (Pearland, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Carmelite Spirituality in the Teresian Tradition (Paperback)
This book was originally published in 1959 and provides a fine overview of Carmel's spiritual heritage from a Teresian perspective, as the back cover states. The topics range from a discussion of Elijah, the primacy of the contemplative spirit, the spirituality of the rule of Carmel, dependence on Jesus, and the models of carmel (Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Therese of Lisieux).Not only is this small book informative, it is also prayerful and a pleasure to read. I am very sad that (at the time I'm writing this review) it appears to be unavailable new (and used at a very high price). I do know that one can purchase it in Europe still and hope that the publishers will make it available here in the USA also. |
