Haunting treatment of the "dark night" in spiritual growth,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crisis of Faith, Crisis of Love (Vol 1) (Paperback)
Father Keating presents solid, classic concepts of mystic theology in a fashion so simple and gentle that the clarity is astonishing. As is usual in his works, one discovers new insight in (and often awe for) passages of scripture one thought one knew all too well. He also incorporates brief mention of sacramental theology - speaking a volume in a sentence.As one example, Father Keating's treatment of the raising of Lazarus, lovely in its simplicity, is a powerful look at faith, patience, love, original sin, personal sin, reconciliation, and how Jesus's humanity was touched by the incident. This book is not only suited for those with a deep interest in theology - in fact, that does not seem the general intended audience. Anyone with an interest in prayer and the gospels will find this a peaceful but deep means to strengthening that commitment. Everything is presented clearly and well, which is not a common trait of theologians!
