The Cloud of Unknowing is a 14th-century masterpiece of Christian mysticism, written anonymously by an English contemplative. This spiritual classic invites seekers to journey beyond words and thoughts into the cloud of divine mystery, where God can only be encountered through love, not intellect.
This edition also includes The Epistle of Privy Counsel, a companion text offering further practical advice for contemplative prayer and inner stillness, written in the same spirit of apophatic (negative) theology. Together, these writings guide readers through the transformative path of surrender, inviting them to enter “the cloud” not to understand God, but to be united with Him in love.
