Edith Stein (1891-1942), who was recently canonized, was one of the
most intriguing Catholics of the twentieth century. A Jewish
convert, an eminent philosopher, educator, and advocate for women,
she became a Discalced Carmelite nun, Sister Teresa Benedicta of
the Cross. Arrested by the Nazis she died in Auschwitz in 1942.
This volume highlights the extraordinary features of her
spirituality -- a vision that integrated her philosophical
training, her affinity for Carmelite mysticism, and her personal
identification with the way of the Cross. Edith Stein provides a
wonderful introduction to an extraordinary mind.
