For the first time in English, the complete “Commentary
on The Psalms” by Denis the Carthusian is now available
as a six-volume collection.
Written in the 15th-Century by one of the great Spiritual and Theological writers of the Carthusian Tradition, Denis’s immense commentary encompasses the entire Psalter,
from Psalm 1 through to Psalm 150.
Drawing upon Sacred Scripture, the Fathers of The Church, the Mediæval Theological Tradition, the Scholastic precision
of Saint Thomas Aquinas, and the contemplative inheritance associated with Pseudo-Dionysius, Denis approaches The Psalms not simply as Texts to be explained, but as Divine Words to be Prayed, Contemplated, and Lived.
Written at the meeting point of Late-Scholasticism
and the “Devotio Moderna”, the Commentary combines Theological rigour with an intensely personal concern
for Christian perfection.
The Psalms become a School of Prayer and the Spiritual Life: Calling the Christian to repentance, strengthening Faith, encouraging virtue, deepening contemplation, and leading
the Soul toward union with God.
