Dark night spirituality : Thomas Merton, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Etty Hillesum : contemplation and the new paradigm
"Dark Night Spirituality is an introduction to the contemplative tradition, exploring the key idea of the dark night of the soul. By drawing on the writings and lives of Thomas Merton, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Etty Hillesum, Peter King relates the dark night to current cultural and religious questions in a post-holocaust, post-modern world. He looks at contemplation as a response to apparent impasse which embraces it as a way into a more profound experience of God. He also breaks new ground by examining common themes shared by theology's 'New Paradigm' and a spirituality of contemplation."--Jacket
