The Cloud of Unknowing: Week 1—Chapter 1-4

Welcome to Week One of The Cloud of Unknowing. Our program features an extended interview with John Polhamus, the narrator of this new recording. He offers insight into his interpretive approach, the historical and spiritual texture of the text, and the enduring relevance of its teachings. Following the conversation, Mr. Polhamus delivers a reading of Chapters 1 through 4, in which the anonymous author lays the foundation for a life of contemplative discipline, rooted in humility.
