In this compelling study of two seventeenthcentury female mystics, Bo Karen Lee examines the writings of Anna Maria van Schurman and Madame Jeanne Guyon, who, despite different religious formations, came to similar conclusions about the experience of God in contemplative prayer. Van Schurman was born into a Dutch Calvinist family and became a superb scriptural commentator before undergoing a dramatic religious conversion and joining the Labadist community, a Pietistic movement. Guyon was a French layperson whose thought would be identified with Quietisma spiritual path that was looked upon with suspicion both by the French Catholic Church and by Rome.Lee analyzes and compares the themes of selfdenial and selfannihilation in the writings of these two mystics. In van Schurman's case, the focus is on the distinction between scholastic knowledge of God and the intima notitia Dei accessible only by radical selfdenial. In Guyon's case, it is on the union with God that is accessible only through a painful selfannihilation. For both authors, Lee demonstrates that the desire for enjoyment of God plays an important role as the engine of the soul's progress away from selfcenteredness. The appendices offer facing Latin and English translations of two letters by van Schurman and a selection from her Eukleria.
