The Cloud of Unknowing is a fourteenth-century work of Christian
mysticism that explores contemplative prayer and serves as a
spiritual guide to those looking to explore these aspects of their
faith. The text's unknown author has provided insight into the
mystical life that has served as an inspiration to many, including
the modern Centering Prayer Movement. The Cloud directs the reader
to know God better not through knowledge but through a
contemplation driven by love and devoid of wordly thoughts and
desires.
In this modern translation Fr. Dennis Billy brings The Cloud
into language easily accessible to the modern Christian and
includes background information and his own reflections to assist
the reader in contemplation. In a world where we have all the
knowledge we could want at our fingertips, it is hard to sit back
and contemplate on faith and love alone, but it is only through
silence and love-driven contemplation that we can truly know God.
The Cloud serves as a guide to lead us there.
