In this study of Madame Guyon and, her defender, Francois de FA
(c)nelon, the Archbishop of Cambray, Patricia Ward demonstrates how
the ideas of these seventeenth-century Catholics were transmitted
into an ongoing tradition of Protestant devotional literature--one
that continues to influence American evangelicals and charismatic
Christians today. Down a winding (and fascinating) historical path,
Ward traces how the lives and writings of these two somewhat
obscure Catholic believers in Quietism came to such prominence in
American spirituality--offering, in part, a fascinating glance at
the role of women in the history of devotional writing.
