Obscure Night Of The Soul

Obscure Night of The Soul

by Saint John of the Cross

The *Dark Night of the Soul* is a classic work of Christian mysticism by Saint John of the Cross, a 16th-century Spanish Carmelite friar. The book explores the spiritual journey of purification and transformation, particularly the experience of what John of the Cross calls the 'dark night of the soul'. This is a period of spiritual dryness, doubt, and even despair that can be a necessary stage in drawing closer to God. Through the use of poetry and theological insights, the book offers guidance on navigating this challenging spiritual phase and ultimately achieving union with the Divine.
