Sacred Tongues: The Golden Age of Spiritual Writing

The Golden Age of Spiritual Writing

by David Scott

Relates the spiritual writers and writings of the 17th century to our modern experience. Focusing on five writers, David Scott introduces us to their lives, the places that they are associated with, and their writing. He shows the reader that their writings should not simply be read as history, but links them to our contemporary situationby offering details of societies devoted to particular writers, or websites connected with their lives that can be visited. He offers a comprehensive introduction to the nature of the period and how the writings have influenced modern writers.
