Old (1907)edition of The Dialogue
In my view as well as that of other recognized Catherinian scholars, this TAN volume, Algar Thorold's translation of The Dialogue of Catherine of Siena, represents an old and very flawed presentation of the original, very Victorian in its style and often inaccurate.
A Welcome Challenge for People who Pray
The first two sections of St. Catherine's "Dialogue", the Prologue and the Way of Perfection, are very powerful statements about our relationship to God.In the Prologue we, through Catherine, are speaking to God by expressing our hopes and fears.But in the Way of Perfection it is God who is speaking about His hopes and fears for us and for our society.Thus, the work of Catherine truly represents a dialogue between two parties - us and God. Review from the Publisher
Dictated by St. Catherine while in ecstasy and speaking with God. Contains page after page of divine wisdom on a host of spiritual subjects under 4 main categories: Divine Providence, Discretion, Prayer, Obedience. One of the great literary treasures if the Church. A famous classic. It was largley for this book that St. Catherine of Siena was declared a Doctor of the Church. ... Read more
