SAINT TERESA OF AVILA
The Interior Castle STUDY EDITION
Translated by Kieran Kavanaugh, O.C.D.
and Otilio Rodriguez, O.C.D.
Prepared by Kieran Kavanaugh, O.C.D. and Carol Lisi, O.C.D.S.
The Interior Castle is more than a book. It is a powerful image of
the mystery of the human person. It is the soul of St. Teresa of
Avila, who journeys through the castle from one dwelling place to
another mapping out a feminine, yet warlike, program for the
Christian spiritual life. It is also the last book Teresa wrote: in
1577, five years before she died, she recorded, to the best of her
knowledge, the experiences for which she praised God.
Reading Teresa herself
is indispensable. The authors of this study edition designed it as a
springboard to reading and understanding Teresa’s text. They present
a chapter of Teresa’s book, followed by a review of the progress of
her thought and the principal ideas in each chapter. Next they give
interpretive notes: doctrinal, historical, and sociological. Then
because Teresa wanted her writings to be in harmony with sacred
Scripture, they point out scriptural texts that support her ideas.
Finally, the authors show how teachings of the present-day church
demonstrate both how Teresa's basic notions were correct and how we
can apply her principles to our times.
