In style, the book is richly oratorical, replete with prayers, admonishments, and interrogations of the Divine worthy of the Book of Job; in content, it is arrestingly original, combining medieval scholarship and modern sensibility. This new edition, under the deft editorial direction of Paul Jerome Keller, O.P., combines the two volumes of the original English translation into one and includes a new Introduction, updated references, and revisions to the translation that better reflect the original French text. Its theological assiduity notwithstanding, \u003ci\u003eThe Cross of Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e is a book, not for scholars, but for souls striving after sanctity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLouis Chardon, O.P., \u003c\/b\u003e(1595–1651) was a Dominican priest, mystic, and theologian.
