The Cloud of Unknowing

Hodder Christian Classics

Edited by Halcyon Backhouse

GoodBookStall Review:
The Cloud of Unknowing is one of the classic medieval texts on contemplative prayer. Written anonymously towards the end of the fourteenth century for someone just starting out in the journey of faith, it dwells on the essentially unknowability of God. Since God cannot be grasped by the intellect, he must be approached with an attitude of humility and love, in listening prayer.
This new edition of the great classic on prayer includes a new foreword.
