Three Freinds of God

Francis Bevan

4.9/5 (18536 ratings)

Description:This work is more about three remarkable individuals who not only interacted with a new “Mystical Movement” but also both facilitated in its advancement, while also transformed by their endeavors with the movement. Thos of this association were pious individuals, comprised of both ecclesiastical and lay, having for its object the cultivation of holiness; its name alludes no doubt to John 15:14-15. The circles of the "Friends of God" appears to have had its origin in Basle between the years 1339 and 1343, and to have thence extended down the Rhine even as far as the Netherlands, the cities most prominent in its history being Basle, Strasburg, and Cologne. Seeing the disturbed state of society in the large territory, the holy associates united in their efforts to counteract the many evil influences of the time, by applying themselves zealously to the practices of the interior life, and working diligently for the conversion of sinners. From this group of ascetics, whose sole bond of union was their common desire for holiness, the great school of German mystics took its rise. As long as the association remained under the guidance of men like Henry Suso and J. Tauler, masters in the spiritual life, it was preserved from blemish. Suso was the founder of the “Children of Mary”, and, in an age that witnessed the decadence of scholasticism or scientific theology, both friends based all their mysticism on Catholic doctrine, particularly on the solid system of St. Thomas. Suso’s "Book of the Eternal Wisdom" was composed for spiritual reading, while his "Book of Truth" was written to refute the errors and fanatic excesses of the Begards and the Brethren of the Free Spirit. On his part, Tauler opposed the false mysticism of the Fraticelli. In time, a lay member of the association, Rulman Merswin, through either fraud or ignorance, brought the whole group of German mystics into disrepute. Nicholas of Basle became the leader of the pseudo-Friends of God, but was eventually condemned and burned at Vienna in 1409. From the beginning of the fifteenth century, the "Friends of God", whether orthodox or heterodox, disappear from the pages of history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
