God's lovers in an age of anxiety

by Joan M. Nuth

"God's Lovers in an Age of Anxiety examines the extraordinary flowering of English spirituality in the fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries, and shows its continuing power to nourish contemporary life and prayer. Though each of the five writers discussed by Joan Nuth has a unique voice, Richard Rolle, the anonymous author of The Cloud of Unknowing, Walter Hilton, Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe shared a common experience of living in an age of fear, violence and disintegration, and their work has a strange resonance for us, acting as 'distant mirrors' for the contemporary spiritual seeker."--BOOK JACKET.
