St. Teresa of Avila was a Spanish Carmelite mystic and reformer of the Carmelite order. This volume maps the architecture of her mystical theology, from the outer walls of the soul to the innermost room of divine union.

Teresa of Jesus died at Alba de Tormes on the exact night the Gregorian calendar reform dropped ten days from history, leaving her feast to fall in a gap in time. Before her incorrupt body and pierced heart became relics for the Catholic faithful, she left behind a precise vocabulary for the interior life. She explained the degrees of mental prayer to sixteenth-century Castile by comparing them to four ways of watering a garden, from laborious bucket hauling to rain falling freely from heaven. Her masterwork, The Interior Castle, charts the passage from active effort to the spiritual marriage where the soul is given back to the world. The text leaves the reader with a clear view of a Doctor of the Church who defined contemplative prayer as a close sharing between friends.
