Written by an anonymous English monk during the late fourteenth century, The Cloud of Unknowing holds an important place in the history of both Western literature and spirituality. Though originally intended for a select audience, the workโ€™s simple, engaging style has won it widespread popularity since its rediscovery more than a century ago.

This classic contemplative resource puts forth a method of contemplation that stresses the impotence of the understanding to break through the cloud of unknowing that separates God and humanity.
