5.35 St. John of the Cross: Master In the Faith
About this episode
This episode explores the contributions of St. John of the Cross to mystical theology and the contemplative life.
St. John of the Cross (1542 - 1591) What St. Thomas Aquinas did for philosophy and systematic theology, St. John of the Cross did for mysticism. He brought mystical theology to a plateau, gleaning from the mystics who came before him, and making it accessible to those who want to follow in the contemplative life.
