John's writings are hugely influential; this edition contains great introductions to his life and major writings, and the selections seem to give a pretty good idea of the whole. I mostly enjoyed his sternness with people who think they're spiritually enlightened. You're probably not, you see. You're probably an asshole, like the rest of us. ( ) St. John of the Cross is a compelling figure and this is a very readable translation. He stands one step beyond the Medieval Period which makes it easier for the Modern reader to digest, at least for this one. The introduction is very helpful in framing the work. This installment of the exceptional Classics of Western Spirituality series is a great exploration of mysticism in the Christian Tradition. no reviews | add a review
