The Interior Castle
Author: Teresa of Avila
Celebrated for almost five centuries as a master of spiritual literature, 16th-century saint, Teresa of Avila, is one of the most beloved religious figures in history. — Overcome one day by a mystical vision of a crystal castle with seven chambers, each representing a different stage in spiritual development, Teresa immediately wrote The Inter...  more ». Probably her most important and widely studied work, it guides the spiritual seeker through each stage of development until the soul's final union with the divine. Free of religious dogma, this modern translation renders St. Teresa's work a beautiful and practical set of teachings for seekers of all faiths in need of spiritual guidance. It also places this classic in a contemporary context, reasserting its spiritual and literary importance even after more than 400 years.

This book is NOT the original Interior Castle of St. Teresa of Avila. It is a modern translation written to remove all "religious dogma". Much of it is not even translation, it is re-writing. It is a new-age, feel-good attempt to have one's cake and eat it, too. The arrogance is astounding.

If you are a Catholic or other person looking to read the actual writing of St. Teresa of Avila, avoid this (translation by Mirabai Starr) like the plague.

Good translation, but I'm not into mysticism, particular that used by feminist advocates.
