Mysticism and Prophecy: The Dominican Tradition (Traditions of Christian Spirituality) by Richard Woods

The rich and varied heritage of Dominican spirituality is here portrayed in the lives and teaching of three outstanding reprentatives - the positive way of Thomas Aquinas, the negative way of Meister Eckhart and the mystical-prophetic way of Catherine of Siena.
