COLLECTED WORKS EDITH STEIN 6: Science of the Cross

Edited by Dr L. Gelber & Romaeus Leuven, OCD. Translated by Josephine Koeppel, OCD. To help celebrate the fourth centenary of the birth of St. John of the Cross in 1542, Edith Stein received the task of preparing a study of his writings. She used her skill as a philosopher to enter into an illuminating reflection of the difference between the two symbols of cross and night. In the summer of 1942, the Nazis without warning took Edith Stein away. The nuns found the manuscript of this profound study lying open in her room. 358pp PBK.
