Translated by Kieran Kavanaugh, OCD, and Otilio Rodriguez, OCD Contains Book of Her Life, Spiritual Testimonies, and Soliloquies.

This is the second edition of Volume One of The Collected Works of St. Teresa of Avila, first woman doctor of the church. The translators have taken full advantage of all that recent scholarship has contributed to a better understanding of Teresa and her writings. This volume includes her first major work, The Book of Her Life, and two of her shorter works, the Spiritual Testimonies and the Soliloquies. Clear and contemporary, this rendering captures Teresa's spirit while remaining faithful to her thought. 

Includes fully linked general and biblical indexes.
