The Cloud of Unknowing: With the Book of Privy Counsel
“This classic deserves to be read by every age in its own cultural idiom. Dr. Butcher has done just that and has preserved a valuable treasure for our time. This is the book that balances our lust for knowing with the freedom of not needing to know at all!”—Richard Rohr, OFM, author ofRadical GraceandEverything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer“Brilliant, bold, and breathtaking. Carmen Acevedo Butcher is called to this work, and I have no doubt the anonymous author ofThe Cloud of Unknowingis the one calling her. I loved her sensitivity to the original Middle English, her fascinating background details, and her high level of accuracy. I am delighted that this passionate and readable new translation of theCloudis on the planet!”—Cynthia Bourgeault, author ofThe Wisdom JesusandCentering Prayer and Inner Awakening
