Mystical Experience And Quietism

By John Howley

Book Overview

""Mystical Experience and Quietism"" by John Howley is a scholarly exploration of the mystical experience and the quietist movement in Christianity. The book delves into the history and development of quietism, a spiritual movement that emphasizes the importance of inner stillness and contemplation. Howley examines the teachings of notable quietists such as Miguel de Molinos and Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de la Motte-Guyon, and explores the controversy and opposition that the movement faced from the Catholic Church. The author also explores the mystical experience itself, discussing its characteristics, its role in spiritual growth, and its relationship to quietism. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including primary texts and secondary literature, Howley offers a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of these important spiritual traditions. This book is an essential resource for scholars and students of Christian mysticism, as well as for anyone interested in the history of spirituality and religious thought.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Psychology and Mystical Experience, by John Howley.
