Mystical Experience And Quietism

By John Howley

Book Overview

""Mystical Experience and Quietism"" by John Howley is a comprehensive exploration of the mystical experience and the Quietist movement in Christianity. The book delves into the origins of mysticism, tracing its roots back to ancient Greece and the early Christian church. It then examines the development of Quietism, a movement that emerged in seventeenth-century Spain and emphasized the importance of direct communion with God through contemplation and prayer. Howley explores the key figures and ideas associated with Quietism, including Miguel de Molinos, Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de la Motte-Guyon, and Fran�����ois F�����nelon. He also examines the controversies surrounding Quietism, including its condemnation by the Catholic Church in the eighteenth century. Throughout the book, Howley provides a thoughtful analysis of the relationship between mysticism and Quietism, and how both have influenced Christian spirituality throughout history. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian mysticism and the Quietist movement.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Psychology and Mystical Experience, by John Howley.
