dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this document is to, first, analyze the ways that historical contexts like the rise of imperialism and the Spanish Inqui sition impacted Teresa of Avila ’s life , as well as the Christian monastic context out of which her spirituality emerges , and then introduce the reader to Teresa of Avila and Teresian Carmelite spirituality . Through an exploration of her personal history, one will begin to understand the particularities of Teresa’s life that led her to such renown and that have made her one of the Church’ s most relatable saints, emphasized by an account of her writings and an explanation of the patterns of knowing God that she sets forth. Following that introduction, one will encounter several other Carmelite figures who, in the legacy of Teresian Carmelite spirituality, have affected Christianity in distinct ways across various contexts and eras. These overviews will be c ulminated in a discussion of Teresa’s life, focusing on her roles as a mystic, a Renaissance woman, a foundress, and a Christian teacher. These perspectives will result in a discussion of the approachability of Teresian Carmelite spirituality for twenty - first - century Christians.en_US
