Widely considered a hallmark of Western literature and spirituality, The Cloud of Unknowing is an anonymous English monk's sublime expression of what separates God from humanity. Originally written in the 14 th century, now part of the HarperCollins Spiritual classics series, this beautiful contemplative resource, has been embraced for hundreds of years for its simple, engaging style and spiritual truths. As the unknown author assures us, "if you are to experience Him or to see Him at all, insofar as it is possible here, it must always be in this cloud." -- The Cloud of Unknowing.
