The Collected Letters of St Teresa of Avila, Volume 2 by trans. Kieran Kavanaugh OCD

This second and final volume of St. Teresa's correspondence begins with the year 1578, a most troubling time for Teresa. A keen observer of the reality around her as well as within, Teresa in these letters focuses light on many of the struggles in both the Carmelite order and the church of sixteenth-century Spain. She introduces us to major personalities who have left their mark on history. Contains Letters from 1578 to 1582. Includes Biographical Sketches, Sources for the Biographical Sketches and Index.
