TERESA OF AVILA: DOCTOR OF THE SOUL


We will shortly celebrate 500 years since
the birth of the outstanding Spanish mystic,
theologian and scholar St. Teresa of Avila
(1515 – 1582). Dr Peter Tyler will be involved
with the celebrations to mark this event in
the UK and abroad and as a taster to this
special year of celebration he presents a day
exploring the life, times and spirituality of this
remarkable woman. No previous knowledge
of the saint is required. During the day he will
explore the circumstances of late medieval
Spain that formed the young saint and how
she responded to those circumstances in her
unique style of writing. As a woman given to
unusual experiences in prayer and of Jewish
descent she was particularly susceptible to
the investigations of the Holy Inquisition and
we shall examine how she dealt with this in
her work. We shall also look at her links with
her contemporaries and her relevance to
today’s spiritual seekers in a world and church
not so very different from the one she knew.
