Angela of Foligno: Passionate Mystic of the Double Abyss

Angela of Foligno: Passionate Mystic of the Double Abyss by Angela, of Foligno. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9781565482487.

Over the past twenty years Angela of Foligno has risen from relative obscurity, at least in the English-speaking world, to a prominent rank among the most significant representatives of the Franciscan and Christian mystical tradition. Her scorching yet feminine narration of a dramatic love affair with the passionate suffering God-man strikes a chord in contemporary readers. The intensity of her account, flowing across every page like molten lava, has no match in Christian mystical literature.
