Extract

With the publication in America of the translation of Father Arintero's great work on Mystical Development in the life of the Church and of Dr Greenstock's work on Christian perfection (both from the Herder Book Company of St Louis) a very important and decisive stage in the journey towards the more realistic attitude to the study of mystical theology has been reached. Father Arintero died, a very holy man, in 1928 in Madrid; yet it is, perhaps, only at this point in the development of the study of mystical theology that his full significance can really be understood. It is therefore fortunate that through the devoted labours of Father Jordan Aumann, O.P., this very useful and accurate English translation of Father Arintero's major work has appeared.
