| Description: |
From convent cloisters to royal courts, from ecstatic rapture to wary scrutiny, this biography reveals the fierce complexity behind the saint.
Born into 16th‑century Spain, Teresa of Avila possessed a restless spirit that exceeded the convent walls. As a nun, mystic, reformer, and founding force of the Discalced Carmelites, she moved through suspicion, illness, and ecclesiastical opposition to become one of Christianity's most celebrated mystical voices.
With vivid portraiture and psychological insight, Cathleen Medwick charts Teresa's inner struggles with faith, desire, and authority; her visions that stunned and scandalized; and the reforms she pursued with tenacity and tact. Along the way, we see Teresa not as a distant icon, but as a woman of contradictions: pragmatic yet visionary, rigorous yet impassioned, vulnerable yet unyielding. |
