Cover of The Dark Night of the Soul (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.


In The Dark Night of the Soul, Spanish mystic St. John of the Cross describes the purification, or ‘night, ‘ that the human soul must experience if it is to enter into loving union with God in this life. Its combination of personal, pastoral, and academic wisdom has made The Dark Night of the Soul an enduring classic in the literature of Christian spirituality. It is a book to which generations of readers, both lay and religious, have turned as they have sought to experience on earth the kind of intimacy with God that will characterize the lives of the blessed in heaven.

About the author


St. John of the Cross, born in 1542 in Fontiveros, Spain, was a central figure in the renewal and reform of sixteenth-century religious life. Working with Teresa of Avila to reform the Carmelites, John was imprisoned by members of the non-reformed branch of the order. When John escaped from prison, he did so with a notebook containing poetry written during his confinement. These poems became the basis of
The Dark Night of the Soul.
