Arthur Holder, PhD, Professor of Christian Spirituality, Graduate Theological Union, editor of Christian Spirituality: The Classics and The Blackwell Companion to Christian Spirituality Whether you have treasured this classic text for years or are coming to it for the first time, you will find something here that speaks to your soul and invites you more deeply into the life of prayer. If so, then proceed…Īs Daniel London’s concise introduction explains, The Cloud of Unknowing teaches us that God is not a thought or an idea, but a loving presence to be encountered in the simplicity of silence. Be careful with this translation and readingįirst off, this is a trully great book on CHRISTIAN mysticism of the traditional type.This is a simple fact,not a opinion.the reader and editor of THIS translation are a group of Christian contemplative biographers and writers.I beleive budo is a franchiscan.However,the discerning person will know many christian orders are filled with men and woman who study more eastern mysticism than actual Christian.again,I am not giving a opinion but a fact based on the first principles of the Two very oposing world views.If you are not awair of what i am saying I strongly recomend you look into this.for those of you who are awair of this,here is my review.This translation to some degree re interprets words from a Christian spiritual framework to a very eastern framwork.i dont mean simply keeping the original PRINCIPLE but changing the language to a buddhistic thing but the much worse keeping the christian LANGUAGE but altering THE MEANING to another view.So please be careful.Do you believe that God is the self-giving Love that moves the sun and other stars as well as the Love that is closer to you than your very breath?
