One of the most overlooked and misunderstood spiritual issues is what some might call a "crisis of faith" but which the mystics named "the dark night of the soul." Wrestling the Angel takes on the task of understanding what happens through the dark night experience, reinterpreting just a few of the many Biblical references to spiritual transformation and how this phenomenon shows up in the complex world in which we live today. Weaving together personal accounts from contemporary writers with the descriptions from classical guides like John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila, Wrestling the Angel analyzes the transformation of our most deeply held beliefs and values when the whole world of meaning-making gets turned upside down. What started out as a simple theological research project became a stabilizing beacon light as the author's life suddenly came under the same lens.
