Summary/Abstract: The study offers a comprehensive perspective on The Interior Castle (1577), a masterpiece of world mystical literature. In this distinctive essay about spiritual path, a Spanish Saint Teresa of Jesus places the accent on inner experience and so moves the history of Christian mysticism forward. Her opus magnum is analysed in detail from four points of view: autobiographical, symbolical, philosophical-theological and psychological. The spiritual message of the Spanish mystic brings wisdom which has made a deep impression on theologians and lay people even in the era of postmodern spirituality.
