Discover the wisdom of this controversial theologian whose counsel and meditations have found a wide audience for more than three centuries.Franois Fnelon was a seventeenthcentury French archbishop who rose to a position of influence in the court of Louis XIV. Amid the splendor and decadence of Versailles, Fnelon became a wise mentor to many members of the kings court as well as to the controversial Madame Guyon. Later exiled from Versailles for political reasons, Fnelon set out to improve the lot of peasants of his diocese and to deepen the spiritual life of all with whom he came in contact. Until his death, he corresponded with those at court who had become his spiritual children.Twentyfirst century Christians are rediscovering the wisdom of this spiritual thinker. Together with Pascalwho was an old man in Fenelons youthhe showed how it was possible to have devotion and faith in the Age of Enlightenment. He battled heresies, faced charges of heresy himself, and wrote masterful books of insight into the spiritual life.Peter Gordays life of Fenelon is a gem. I recommend it to anyone with an interest in Fenelon or Christian mysticism in general. Dr. Chad Helms, Professor of Modern Foreign Languages, Presbyterian College, and editor of Fenelon: Selected Writings (Classics of Western Spirituality)Gorday traces the complex situation in Fenelons time and the varying perspectives of his interpreters. He declares him not cunning but tough as a thinker. In this book, we get not only a fascinating story but also a subtle guide to selfexamination. Dr. Eugene TeSelle, Emeritus, Vanderbilt Divinity School; author of Augustine the Theologian
