An 11 page paper providing background and a proposal for research into the life of St. Teresa. The work following, "The Spiritual Journey of The Soul to God through Teresian Spirituality," will seek to review the seven mansions that Teresa describes to her nuns. As Dante led the reader through an awful descent through several layers of hell, Teresa leads her readers through a description of the journey through several layers of true communion with God. She begins with the individual's awareness (the first mansion) and progresses to the final mansion, true union with God. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
