Wilson, Christopher, (ed.), The Heirs of St. Teresa of Ávila: Defenders andDisseminators of the Founding Mother’s Legacy

Abstract

This book, which is ninth in a series of ‘Carmelite Studies’ from the Institute of Carmelite Studies (ICS) in Washington D.C., is the fruit  of a symposium held at Georgetown University in 2004. Seven essays by different contributors bring us closer to Teresa of Jesus (of  Avila) by engaging with various important collaborators, or assessing her impact on those who admired her, both contemporaries and  later followers. Incidentally, some of these studies show Teresa in action in areas of special interest today.
