Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Holy Wisdom: Directions for the Prayer of Contemplation is a classic manual of Christian interiority, guiding the soul from discursive meditation toward recollection, affective prayer, and contemplative union with God. Written in a sober yet fervent prose, it joins practical spiritual direction to the older monastic and mystical traditions, especially the Benedictine pursuit of purity of heart and continual prayer. Its literary context is the English Catholic devotional world of the seventeenth century, where exile, discipline, and inwardness shaped a distinctive contemplative theology. Augustine Baker, an English Benedictine monk born in 1575, was formed by law, conversion, monastic obedience, and long experience as a spiritual director. His work with English Benedictine nuns at Cambrai was especially decisive: Holy Wisdom gathers the mature fruits of counsel offered to souls seeking prayer beyond mere method. Published posthumously through the editorial labor of Serenus Cressy, it preserves Baker's unusually discerning balance between ascetic rigor and gentleness toward individual vocation. This book is recommended to readers of mystical theology, monastic spirituality, and the history of prayer. It rewards patient reading, offering not quick consolation but a demanding, humane map of contemplative life.Copycat s.r.o., Schnirchova 662/22, Holesovice, 170 00 Prague 444 pp. Englisch.
