In Memoriam: Dr. Gerald May 1940-2005

"Dr. Gerald May, Shalem's Senior Fellow in Contemplative Theology and Psychology died in April 2005 at the age of 64 after a lengthy illness. Well-known for his writings on psychology and spirituality, Jerry authored numerous articles and books over the span of 35 years, including Addiction & Grace, Will & Spirit, The Awakened Heart, and most recently, Dark Night of the Soul."

I just read Gerald May's last book, The Dark Night of the Soul: A Psychiatrist Explores the Connection Between Darkness and Spiritual Growth. It touched me deeply and was of great benefit.
