Tanquerey, The Spiritual Life

Spiritual Theology

Ascetical and mystical theology: the three ways (purgative, illuminative, unitive), the life of prayer, the stages of perfection. Tanquerey's classic *The Spiritual Life* is the principal source, supplemented by Garrigou-Lagrange and the great spiritual writers.
