Light, Life, and Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781506083742)

Light, Life, and Love- Selections from the German Mystics of the Middle Ages is a classic German religious study by W. R. Inge. TO most English readers the "Imitation of Christ" is the representative of mediaeval German mysticism. In reality, however, this beautiful little treatise belongs to a period when that movement had nearly spent itself. Thomas a Kempis, as Dr. Bigg has said, was only a semi-mystic. He tones down the most characteristic doctrines of Eckhart, who is the great original thinker of the German mystical school, and seems in some ways to revert to an earlier type of devotional literature.
