Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Classics Series, Which Has Inspired Many Lesssuccessful Imitations Over The Years, Has Fulfilled Its Promise And Given Us An Invaluable Resource Of The Soul. The Catholic Historical Review Jeremy Taylor: Selected Works Edited With An Introduction By Thomas K. Carroll Preface By John Booty Learn To Despise The World; Or, Which Is A Better Compendium In The Duty, Learn But Truly To Understand It; For It Is A Cousenage All The Way; The Head Of Its Rainbow, And The Face Of It Is Flattery; Its Words Are Charmes, And All Its Stories Are False; Its Body Is A Shadow, And Its Hands Do Knit Spiders Webs. Jeremy Taylor (16131667) Jeremy Taylor Lived In An Age Of Transition. Politically, England Was Emerging As A Modern State, Struggling With Its New Autonomy And Experimenting With Representative Government. Religiously, The Puritan Voices Of The Radical Reformation Battled With The Established Church To Move It From The Via Media. Intellectually, It Was An Age In Which New Philosophical Voices Were Emerging And Bards Were Composing Their Odes Not In The Learned Classical Languages Of Antiquity But In English. Taylor Saw The Completion Of The Authorized Version Of King James Near The Beginning Of His Life: An Eloquent Precursor Of The Monumental Achievements That Men Like Donne, Milton, And Bunyan Would Make During His Lifetime. Taylor Has Been Called The 'Shakespeare Of The Divines.' Like His Older Contemporary Lancelot Andrewes, He Drew On The Spirit Of The Renaissance. Rich Classical Allusions, Ornate Symbolism, And Flowing Cadences Enhance His Presentation Of The Sacred Truths Of Holy Writ. His Own Experience Of Life Made Him No Stranger To Suffering, Having Buried His First Wife And All Of His Five Sons. In His Bestknown Work, Holy Dying, We Have Not Only A Fine Example Of A Genre Of Spiritual Literature Common To The Late Middle Ages, But One Of The Moving Meditations On Death Ever Written. In It We See A Man Proclaiming The Truths Of Christianity, Not With The Bold Speculative Originality Of Mystics Like Eckhart Or The Systematic Precision Of Albert The Great, But With A Sheer Literary Brilliance That Enabled Him To Craft Words That Stood Like Windows To The Unseen World Of Which They Spoke: Words That Could Awaken And Stir, That Could Define And Articulate The Myriad Sentiments And Subtleties Of The Holy Life. In This Volume The Whole Range Of Taylor'S Achievement Is Surveyed. His Work As A Pilgrim And Pastor, Theologian And Priest, Poet And Preacher Is Presented With Comprehensive Introductions That Highlight How He Blended The Insights Of The Fathers With The Forces Of His Own Time Into Brilliant New Forms Of Expressions.
