Pamphlets on Monastic Spirituality

I have written several works on the subject of Christian spirituality,specialising in the English medieval mystics. These were first published by The Chapter (ed. Clare Anderson), a quarterly review dedicated to fostering the spirit of St Benedict. You can download these as pdf files:

The Twelve Steps of Humility (essay) pdf.

Minor Works by the author of The Cloud of Unknowing(essay) pdf.

The Pistel of Praier (translation) pdf.

The Cloud of Unknowing (essay) pdf.


I also wrote an essay on the American Cistercian monk and hermit Thomas Merton. This material originally appeared as three consecutive articles in The Chapter. It was later republished as a booklet, and reprinted in the Thomas Merton Journal. Merton and the Experience of Contemplation

Also available (but only as hard copies at the moment - please email if you would like one) are my booklet on the medieval mystic Julian of Norwich, Love is His Meaning, The Epistle Concerning Prayer, an early work by the author of The Cloud of Unknowing.
