Description: From her earliest years, Catherine of Siena (1347-80) was griped by the mystery of God incarnate. This was the beginning of a life-long love story, a life-long conversion in which Christ spoke to Catherine and she communicated the truth of his being to the world of her time. Creation itself, she says, is an act of love, and Christ is the bridge by which human beings come to realize their full humanity, their inmost nature, which is to love.
Review Quotes: "As editor of the critical edition of the Dialogue (Catherine's account of her mystical conversation with God), Cavallini is immensely qualified to synthesize Catherine of Siena's thought...Devotional in tone, this book is suitable for Master of Divinity students, clergy, and literate laypersons interested in theology and spirituality."
