A religious classic and a great work of literature, The Life of Teresa of Jesus is the autobiography of the Saint Teresa of Avila. Paperback.

A fresh new edition of a successful title that is both a religious classic and a great work of literature by one of the most dynamic women in history. George Eliot in Middlemarch wrote of Teresa that her "passionate, ideal nature demanded an epic life". This is the story of that life.

TERESA OF ÁVILA (1515-82), also called St. Teresa of Jesus, was a Spanish nun and one of the great mystics and religious women of the Roman Catholic Church. She was the leader of the Carmelite Reform, which restored and emphasized the austerity and contemplative character of this religious order. Canonized in 1622, she was elevated to Doctor of the Church by Pope Paul VI in 1970, the first woman to be so honored. E. ALLISON PEERS is the translator of many great works of Spanish verse and mysticism.
