When exile becomes dispatch On the mystical realism of Teresa of Avila

Meer over het boek

Exploring the spiritual journey of Teresa of Avila, the book delves into her core belief that "Everything passes, God does not change." It analyzes her autobiography, The Book of Life, to uncover how she navigated the relationship between the Absolute and the relative. The text examines the anthropological implications of her desire for God, suggesting that human desire is fundamentally directed towards the Infinite. This orientation reveals a dynamic tension that fosters a creative existence and a meaningful way of living in the world.
