SSF225 – Introduction to St. Teresa of Avila

The course will include the history and teaching of St. Teresa of Avila including her instruction on overcoming sin and entering more deeply into prayer. St. Teresa of Avila herself went from a life of sin, in which she felt she could not and should not be loved by God, to becoming a Doctor of the Church known for her rich doctrine on prayer.

The class will be based on the Collected Works of St. Teresa and will focus on the three major works of St. Teresa: The Book of her life, The Way of Perfection and The Interior Castle.
