The Cloud of Unknowing: A New Translation of the Classic 14th-Century Guide to the Spiritual Experience

In fourteenth-century England an anonymous monk wrote an extraordinary text illuminating the life of contemplative devotion and the drama of the soulâ€™s union with God. Precariously heretical in its day, it became a classic of Christian mystical thought.

Dr. Ira Progoffâ€™s brilliant new translation and commentary illustrate The Cloud of Unknowingâ€™s ongoing relevance. Dr. Progoff reveals a bridge spanning the perilous abyss between modern psychologyâ€™s self-conscious analytic thought and the pressing spiritual needs of modern man.
