Title: Spiritual Classic
Review: Were it not for the wonderful translation by Mirabai Starr of this work, I doubt I would have ventured to read it. The book is poetic and certainly one of the classics of mystical literature, but it is not "light reading." I found John of the Cross to be very traditionally Roman Catholic in his views (hardly surprising!) which frequently caused me to be confused rather than encouraged. Perhaps because I am not a mystic, I found it often difficult to comprehend John's cloudy "explanations." Mirabai Starr deserves great credit for her sensitive translation of what she describes as John's "mystical masterpiece."
