Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To help celebrate the fourth centenary of the birth of St. John of the Cross in 1542, Edith Stein received the task of preparing a study of his writings. She uses her skill as a philosopher to enter into an illuminating reflection on the difference between the two symbols of cross and night. Pointing out how entering the night is synonymous with carrying the cross, she provides a condensed presentation of John's thought on the active and passive nights, as discussed in The Ascent of Mount Carmel and The Dark Night. All of this leads Edith to speak of the glory of resurrection that the soul shares, through a unitive contemplation described chiefly in The Living Flame of Love. In the summer of 1942, the Nazis without warrant took Edith away. The nuns found the manuscript of this profound study lying open in her room.

Book excerpt: Overview: To help celebrate the fourth centenary of the birth of St. John of the Cross in 1542, Edith Stein received the task of preparing a study of his writings. She uses her skill as a philosopher to enter into an illuminating reflection on the difference between the two symbols of cross and night. Pointing out how entering the night is synonymous with carrying the cross, she provides a condensed presentation of John's thought on the active and passive nights, as discussed in The Ascent of Mount Carmel and The Dark Night. All of this leads Edith to speak of the glory of resurrection that the soul shares, through a unitive contemplation described chiefly in The Living Flame of Love. In the summer of 1942, the Nazis without warrant took Edith away. The nuns found the manuscript of this profound study lying open in her room. Because of the Nazis' merciless persecution of Jews in Germany, Edith Stein traveled discreetly across the border into Holland to find safe harbor in the Carmel of Echt. But the Nazi invasion of Holland in 1940 again put Edith in danger. The cross weighed down heavily as those of Jewish birth were harassed. Sr. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross's superiors then assigned her a task they thought would take her mind off the threatening situation. The fourth centenary of the birth, of St. John of the Cross (1542) was approaching, and Edith could surely contribute a valuable study for the celebration. It is no surprise that in view of her circumstances she discovered in the subject of the cross a central viewpoint for her study. A subject like this enabled her to grasp John's unity of being as expressed in his life and works. Using her training in phenomenology, she helps the reader apprehend the difference in the symbolic character of cross and night and why the night-symbol prevails in John. She clarifies that detachment is designated by him as a night through which the soul must pass to reach union with God and points out how entering the night is equivalent to carrying the cross. Finally, in a fascinating way Edith speaks of how the heart or fountainhead of personal life, an inmost region, is present in both God and the soul and that in the spiritual marriage this inmost region is surrendered by each to the other. She observes that in the soul seized by God in contemplation all that is mortal is consumed in the fire of eternal love. The spirit as spirit is destined for immortal being, to move through fire along a path from the cross of Christ to the glory of his resurrection.

Download or read book John of the Cross written by Edward Howells and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-12 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the life and teaching of John of the Cross, the Spanish mystic who remains a major source of Western thought on spirituality, theology and mysticism. Leading academics discuss the importance and legacy of John from historical, theological, philosophical, pastoral, ecumenical, psychological and literary perspectives. The book focuses on his place in Carmel, his understanding of desire, and the role of transformation in his theology. Approaching John in the context of the late medieval mystical tradition, it offers a timely re-evaluation of his work and a significant reassessment of his relevance in the context of current debates.

This book was released on 2019-11-23 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While a reconstruction of the whole of William James’s personal library isn’t feasible, there are significant portions of it that reside within the Harvard University Library system and this book is a partial reconstruction of their story. Reconstructing the Personal Library of William James offers a new, comprehensive account of the James collection at Harvard University, bringing together all known Harvard-owned entries into one comprehensive volume. The annotated bibliography contains data on 2,554 entries (2,862 volumes) from James’s personal library, including both the 1923 “Philosophical Library” and all known additional donations by James and his family. . Each entry, when applicable, contains the following data points: Harvard Library location and call number, provenance, bookplate, accession record, autographs, inscriptions, ownership marks, indexical annotations, markings, and marginalia. To orient the reader, Ermine L. Algaier IV supplements the bibliography with essays that examine the history of the James’s library at Harvard, assess the size of the collection and how it came to reside at Harvard, and showcase patterns that emerge from looking at the collection as a whole. Additional essays are devoted to explaining the source lists and archival resources used in reconstructing James’s personal library, as well as outlining steps for continued research on the collection.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edith Stein is a very significant woman of our century. She was German Jewess who at first plunged herself into vile abyss of Atheism. Converted to Roman Catholicism she ascended to the highest peak of Mount Carmel and thus achieved the mystical union of her soul with God. For the Church she is a martyr and revered saint. In the philosophical circle she is a significant exponent of Phenomenology. A heroic woman, Edith Stein is a feminist of true womanhood. The philosophical insights of Edmund Husserl and the Mystical Theology of St. John of the Cross helped her in the development of the Science of the Cross. The relevance of Edith Stein is seen not merely in the scientific exposition of the Theology of the Cross but specially in the living witness of that doctrine in her own life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le présent ouvrage intervient comme le second tome d’une ample et belle étude sur la doctrine christologique des deux grands mystiques espagnols, Thérèse de Jésus et Jean de la Croix. Après son introduction à la pensée de Thérèse sur le Christ, le même auteur, procédant avec une égale compétence, dans le même esprit et suivant une identique démarche, nous propose ici une présentation du « Christ de Jean de la Croix ». Jean de la Croix (1542-1591), de son nom premier en religion Jean de saint Matthias, ordonné prêtre tout fraîchement et envisageant d’entrer à la Chartreuse après ses brillantes études théologiques à Salamanque, fut directement sollicité par Thérèse pour continuer l’œuvre fondatrice qu’elle avait initiée, et, ce faisant, assurer la mise en œuvre décisive de sa Réforme. À la faveur des charges qui lui furent confiées, celles de maître des novices et de recteur de collège de théologie, celui que l’on appellera le « Docteur mystique » sut modeler, avec le charisme d’un vrai fondateur et d’un père spirituel sans pareil, la réforme thérésienne des Carmes Déchaussés. La compassion pour tous ceux et celles qu’il savait privés de l’aide de directeurs spirituels éclairés et de livres enseignant les chemins de l’union avec Dieu, l’incite à écrire. Son œuvre spirituelle, qui est aussi littéraire au point que d’aucuns considèrent Jean de la Croix comme le plus grand poète de l’Espagne, lui vaudront, le 24 août 1926, le titre de « Docteur de l’Église ». Le livre que voici présente tout d’abord la figure et l’œuvre de Jean de la Croix, homme du XVIe siècle espagnol mais aussi « notre contemporain ». Un chapitre capital, introduction à la doctrine spirituelle du saint, montre que « le Christ n’est pas en celle-ci un élément parmi d’autres, fût-ce le plus important » : il y est, au contraire, constamment désigné comme « centre » et « clé de voûte ». Ainsi équipé et guidé, on peut s’engager avec confiance dans la lecture « christologique » de l’œuvre du « Docteur mystique ». Sept chapitres denses et magistraux que balisent très favorablement des textes nombreux nouvellement traduits, présentent la vision du Christ du grand mystique. La dernière partie de l’ouvrage est composée d’une série d’annexes précieuses : une belle traduction des poèmes de Jean de la Croix ; une étude originale sur Edith Stein lectrice de ce dernier ; un relevé exhaustif des œuvres du saint avec l’analyse détaillée des quatre principales d’entre elles ; un glossaire des termes et notions propres à l’ensemble de l’œuvre. Une collection de référence en christologie sous la direction de Monseigneur Doré.
