Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Espousals is the masterpiece of the fourteenth-century Flemish mystic Jan van Ruusbroec, who described one's spiritual development as involving the active life, the inner or yearning life, and the contemplative life, which he explains in the Espousals in three books. The overall theme of the three books is the message of Matthew 25:6, "See, / the Bridgegroom cometh, / go out / to meet him", which involves a four-step experience in each of the three "lives". The reader travels past the same guideposts three times, each time at a higher plane. Three times the reader sees the same thing occur - the meeting of the person with God - in the same sequence, but under a new light. Ruusbroec supports his mystical treatise with a solid anthropological and theological thought. He sketches the psychological structure of the person, as well as the natural and supernatural relationship between God and the person. In short, Ruusbroec endeavors to verbally express the inner condition of a person being united with God.

Book excerpt: Presents a selection of writings by the 14th-century Flemish mystic noted for his Trinitarian theology, and for whom the contemplative life involved activity or going out, just as God is always dynamic, thus reflecting the mystic life as not so much a progression of stages, but a simultaneous activity, return, and rest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spiritual Espousals: Translated From the Dutch, With an Introduction This repertory, with its careful and ingenious relation of each item to the Beatitudes and to the deadly sins, a wonderful example in itself of the skill of the medieval rhetorician, is also a percipient catalogue of the excesses into which pride, disobedience, anger and the rest have led, and still lead, distracted humanity; and in its recognition of human society for what it is when it forgoes the grace of God, it is as much removed from the Quietism of his day as from the belief so prevalent now that society can somehow render itself innocuous without superior aid.

Download or read book Spiritual Formation as the Hero’s Journey in John of Ruusbroec written by Robert Pelfrey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the theology of spiritual formation developed by fourteenth-century Flemish mystic John of Ruusbroec, arguing that his formational path clearly and consistently displays the characteristics of the archetypal narrative structure of the hero’s journey. To start with, a hermeneutical dialogue between scholars of the hero’s journey and Ruusbroec is established, employing the work of Hans-Georg Gadamer. The author then examines the stages and tropes of the hero’s journey according to Vladimir Propp, Joseph Campbell, Northrop Frye, René Girard, Dean Miller, and others, exploring the parallels in Ruusbroec’s writing and theology of spiritual formation. The book follows Ruusbroec’s story of answering the divine call, journeying inward and experiencing the trials of spiritual transformation, attaining the treasure of divine union, and returning in loving service to others. Finally, the ramifications of the argument for the interpretation and application of other mystical and heroic narratives are considered. Offering a new perspective on John of Ruusbroec, mystical theology, and the hero’s journey as a spiritual quest, this volume will be of interest to scholars of mysticism, theology, formative spirituality, narrative theory, and religious literature of the Low Countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Spiritual Way: Classic Traditions and Contemporary Practice,Philip Sheldrake aims to make the wisdom of Christian spirituality better known to contemporary readers. After an introductory chapter on the foundations of Christian spirituality, Sheldrake describes its diverse riches through the centuries in terms of five distinctive types of Christian spiritual wisdom, illustrated by a rich selection of classical examples. The five types are “The Way of Discipline,” “The Contemplative-Mystical Way,” “The Way of Practical Action,” “The Way of Beauty,” and “The Prophetic Way.” This book also briefly explores the contemporary interest in spirituality within and beyond conventional religion and suggests how we might engage with these five types on our spiritual journeys in today’s world.

Download or read book Beloved Dust written by Robert Davis Hughes, III and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-08-15 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been an explosion of interest in classical Christian spirituality over the past 50 years. While a great deal of work has been done on the history of Christian spirituality, there has been no full-scale theological and pastoral treatment of Christian spiritual life since before the Second Vatican Council. Beloved Dust takes a realistic, contemporary view of human being as entirely physical (dust) and shows it immersed in three great tides of the Holy Spirit, the traditional threefold rhythm of conversion, transfiguration, and glory. What is unique about Robert Hughes's approach is the effort to root spiritual theology in the doctrine of the Spirit, an outgrowth of the renewed interest in the Trinity among both Catholics (Karl Rahner) and Protestants (Robert Jenson). Also striking is Hughes's emphasis on "ordinary life". Here as a married Episcopal priest/theologian who brings a distinctly "Protestant" perspective to a traditionally "Catholic" enterprise for so long the preserve of celibate priests. What he achieves is a new presentation of the traditional teaching in the light of contemporary knowledge and practice.
