Dark Night Of The Soul

Source verified · September 2026

St. John of the Cross’s classic treatise describes the soul’s painful yet purifying passage toward union with God, emphasizing detachment, suffering, and contemplative prayer. It is one of the great works of Christian mysticism, and readers will find dense spiritual teaching on purification, divine absence, and mystical union.
