Opis
Doubt and Darkness, 1895-1897
In Therese of Lisieux: God's Gentle Warrior, Thomas Nevin examined the popular saint in the broad context of her life with her family and as a Carmelite nun. Now he focuses on her writings, especially the last of her three "e;autobiographical"e; manuscripts, known simply as "e;C"e;. During her last years Therese struggled with doubt and darkness. She described the loss of the virtues of faith and hope; only the practice of charity remained to her. She wondered how such a condition could be sustained as a distinctly Christian life. Nevin's book addresses the torment of doubt within the life and writing of a saint best known for the strength of her conviction.
