The book examines the use of mystical imagery in the literary works of the 16th-century Spanish writers and mystics, Santa Teresa de Jesus and San Juan de la Cruz. In addition to the variety of sources on which they draw and the influence they exercise on later generations, what emerges in the study is a multivalent use of diverse images that is the mystics' means of grappling with the ineffable nature of mystical union."

Juan de la Cruz (St. John of the Cross) has been a major influence on Catholic thought for centuries. This important new work in English presents a Hermeneutical framework within which an interpretation of Juan de la Cruz's C_ntico may be undertaken. Dr. Perrin calls this framework a Global Hermeneutical Method. The phenomenological hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur are used to construct this framework. Ricoeur's phenomenological hermeneutics of texts is based on a theory of mimesis as well as other congruent methodologies. A Hermeneutical approach to the Cantico does not merely ask the question, 'What does the text mean?' but also asks, 'What does the text mean for the reader today?'
