Synopsis

""Three Friends of God"" is a book written by Frances A. Bevan in 1887 that records the lives of three Christian mystics - John Tauler, Nicholas of Basle, and Henry Suso. The book provides a detailed account of their lives, their spiritual journeys, and the impact they had on the religious landscape of their time. Each of the three mystics had a unique approach to spirituality, but they were all united by their deep devotion to God and their desire to live a life of holiness. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian mysticism and the lives of these three influential figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

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. And when, as in the histories that follow, they were themselves the narrators, we find that their writings were altered and enlarged by copyists who had an interest in doing so, or who imagined they rendered them more edifying by additions of their own. It is therefore necessary to remark that, though historical accuracy has been faithfully aimed at in the following stories, and though no addition whatever has been made by the writer to the original accounts, and though, further, the actual words of the “Friends of God” have been employed in making extracts from their writings, the history may yet be open to correction from further researches which are now being made by painstaking historians.
