Hello, and welcome to Methods – an exploration in guided prayer and meditation.
Today’s focus is the the dark night of the soul.
There’s often a misconception about this phrase – the dark night of the soul. You may have heard it increasingly over the past few years, with the exodus of white evangelicals from the evangelical church, and the growth of the post-christian deconstruction culture. But much like deconstruction is used differently than the way Jaques Derrida popularized it, the colloquial meaning of the phrase “dark night of the soul has become foreign to its original use as well. In its common usage, it has come to mean something like a particularly difficult time in life, or is often used in conjunction with the loss or transformation of someone’s faith. But the original meaning of the term had a more mystical context.
