Synopsis

A thoughtful, practical guide to disciplined daily living rooted in medieval mystic wisdom.

This volume renders Richard Rolle’s influential treatises into modern English, pairing a practical rule of life for contemplatives with writings meant for those who live in the world. It offers accessible insight into devotion, selfless action, and the steady path to spiritual growth.

The collection highlights costless integrity in daily actions, the role of prayer, and the aim of love for God. Readers will encounter clear guidance on how to do good—without vanity or self-interest—and how to pursue a life of prayer, humility, and steadfast faith. The edition includes longer and shorter forms of Rolle’s works to suit contemplative and active readers alike, with careful notes that illuminate the medieval context without distracting from the core teachings.

• Learn how to define and pursue good works with a pure motive
• Explore practical advice on daily routines, prayer, and self-discipline
• See how contemplative and active lives can harmonize in devotion
• Discover historical context that enriches modern devotional practice

Ideal for readers of devotional theology, mysticism, and spiritual biography who want clear, actionable guidance grounded in early English Christian thought.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A nglo-S axon and Middle English ;but for those who care for the thought, specially the religious and devotional thought, of our forefathers. My one aim has been to make a portion of that thought accurately intelligible to modern readers, with the greatest possible saving of trouble to them. When I could use the old word or phrase, with certainty of its being understood, I have done so. When I could not, I have replaced it with the best modern equivalent I could find or invent. In extenuation of the occasional use of Rolle svii.
