Paulist seems to have hit upon exactly the right subject at exactly
the right time." Theology Today "The series offers a perfect
opportunity both to acquire and to read those classics that are
more talked about than read." Christian World THE CLOUD OF
UNKNOWING edited, with an introduction by James Walsh, S. J.,
preface by Simon Tugwell, O.P. "So set yourself to rest in this
darkness as long as you can, always crying out after him whom you
love. For if you are to experience him or to see him at all,
insofar as it is possible here, it must always be in this cloud
..." The Cloud of Unknowing (late 14th century) Written by an
anonymous English monk during the late fourteenth century, The
Cloud of Unknowing holds an important place in the history of both
Western literature and spirituality. Though originally intended for
a select audience, the work's simple, engaging style has won it
widespread popularity since its rediscovery more than a century
ago. The Cloud puts forth a method of contemplation that stresses
the impotence of the understanding to break through the cloud of
unknowing that separates God and humanity. Rather, "it is love
alone that can reach God in this life". In his preface to this
volume, Simon Tugwell sums up the challenge that the author of The
Cloud presents us today: "If we wish to follow him, we must be
prepared to be taxed to the limit. But if we have the courage and
the ability to follow him, we shall not find that our efforts has
been in vain."
