Abstract
Abstract
This article is about the contribution the contemporary Carmelite nun and author Ruth Burrows makes to spiritual theology. This contribution is considered as twofold. Firstly, Burrows explores throughout her writings what it means for us to have been given Jesus “for us and for our salvation”. The insights she presents are derived from her own lived experience, and we explore them by analysing her understanding of mysticism. Secondly, precisely by offering an exploration of fundamental theological truths that is both shaped by and oriented to relationship with the living God, Burrows is a witness to the fundamental unity between theology and spirituality.
