The Cloud of Unknowing

Exploring the depths of Christian mysticism, this 14th-century work emphasizes the importance of surrendering to the "unknowing" rather than seeking intellectual understanding of God. Through intense contemplation, it suggests that one can grasp the true nature of the divine, beyond human comprehension. Evelyn Underhill’s modern English translation, first published in 1922, makes this profound text accessible to contemporary readers. The edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, highlighting its significance in the study of Medieval Christian thought.
