Desire, Darkness, and Hope: Theology in a Time of Impasse

For some decades, the work of Carmelite theologian Constance FitzGerald, OCD, has been a well-known secret, not only among students and practitioners of Carmelite spirituality, but also among spiritual directors, spiritual writers, retreatants, vowed religious women and men, and Christian theologians.This collection sets out to introduce the work of Sister Constance to a wider and more diverse audience-women and men who seek to strengthen themselves on the spiritual journey, who yearn to deepen personal or scholarly theological and religious reflection, and who want to make sense of the times in which we live. To this end, this volume curates seven of Sister Constance's articles with probing and responsive essays written by ten theologians. Contributors include: Susie Paulik BabkaColette Ackerman, OCDRoberto S. GoizuetaMargaret R. PfeilAlex MilkulichAndrew PrevotLaurie CassidyMaria Teresa MorganBryan N. MassingaleM.
