Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Friends of God: Records From the Lives of John Tauler, Nicholas of Basle, Henry Suso Thus, though an exterminating war was carried on against these earlier Reformers, we find that two centuries after the events related in the stories that follow, the hidden stream of life burst forth afresh into the daylight, and Martin Luther rejoiced to reprint and circulate the writings of the Friends of God.

Book excerpt: Prior to the Reformation, there were some who quietly walked with God in greater light than most around them. Frances Bevan has winnowed the pages of history to bring us clarifying and illuminating records of the lives of three true medieval saints: John Tauler, Nicholas of Basle, and Henry Suso. THE short account given in the following pages of three of the "Friends of God" of the fourteenth century is but a small fragment of a history which would form in itself a voluminous library, the History of the "Brethren" of the Middle Ages, known to us under many names, but in England chiefly as the Lollards or Boni Homines. Any account of these widely scattered and persecuted Christians must necessarily be a very imperfect one, as their history is told us chiefly by enemies, who were both ignorant of their true principles, and eager to malign them.... Whilst men are ready to believe in spiritualism or in any delusions of the evil one, or of the mind of man, they are utterly blind to the fact that the real, true, and supernatural intercourse with God is the privilege and experience of all those who have believed in Jesus. We who believe may well humble ourselves that we know so little of it, but that it is the standing fulfillment of the great promises of John XIV, XV, and XVI we know well, unless indeed we are so wanting in the faith which appropriates those glorious promises, that we have yet to learn what it is to hear the voice of God. In order to give a true and vivid account of the simple, childlike communication with God, granted to these saints of old, care has been taken to keep as closely as possible to their actual words and expressions, even when such expressions betray the ignorance which marks mediaeval Christianity. The Friends of God were a group of Catholic mystics having their origins in Germany and Switzerland in the early 14th Century. This was a period of major turmoil in society due to the Black Plague, the collapse of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, the moral decay of the clergy, the struggle for authority between Bavarian Emperor Louis IV and the pope, earthquakes and floods leading to famine, the exile of the papacy to Avignon from Rome, and generalized economic instability. The response of Christians seeking comfort from God was to renew emphasis on developing a closer communion with God by withdrawing from the world in order to cultivate their inner spirituality through meditation and prayer without forsaking the sacraments of the Catholic Church. *THE SERMON OF DR.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Friends of God are an informal group of Catholic mystics who organized themselves in Germany and Switzerland in the early 14th century. These Friends strove to deepen both their communal relationships as well as their inner spirituality. Tauler was a master of combining the mystical with the concrete, the spiritual with the practical. He taught that each human has a desire for God which is satisfied through detachment from earthly things. Suso also believed that to achieve perfect, soul-level union with God, a person had to die to himself and become detached from the world. History provides a "very imperfect sketch" of Nicholas Basle according to Bevan. For many years, Basle was thought to be the mysterious "Master" described in many of the Friends' documents, but it was later discovered that the Master was a fictional character. Bevan's book is a biographical narrative of these three Friends' lives complete with dialogue. They discuss numerous facets of Catholicism and mysticism, and readers interested in these subjects will enjoy the work.

Download or read book Marrying Jesus in Medieval and Early Modern Northern Europe written by Rabia Gregory and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first full-length study of the notion of marriage to Jesus in late medieval and early modern popular culture, this book treats the transmission and transformation of ideas about this concept as a case study in the formation of religious belief and popular culture. Marrying Jesus in Medieval and Early Modern Northern Europe provides a history of the dispersion of theology about the bride of Christ in the period between the twelfth and seventeenth centuries and explains how this metaphor, initially devised for a religious elite, became integral to the laity's pursuit of salvation. Unlike recent publications on the bride of Christ, which explore the gendering of sanctity or the poetics of religious eroticism, this is a study of popular religion told through devotional media and other technologies of salvation. Marrying Jesus argues against the heteronormative interpretation that brides of Christ should be female by reconstructing the cultural production of brides of Christ in late medieval Europe. A central assertion of this book is that by the fourteenth century, worldly, sexually active brides of Christ, both male and female, were no longer aberrations. Analyzing understudied vernacular sources from the late medieval period - including sermons, early printed books, spiritual diaries, letters, songs, and hagiographies - Rabia Gregory shows how marrying Jesus was central to late medieval lay piety, and how the 'chaste' bride of Christ developed out of sixteenth-century religious disputes.
