In Divine Audacity, Peter Dillard presents a historically informed
and rigorous analysis of the themes of mystical union, volition and
virtue that occupied several of the foremost theological minds in
the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. In particular,
the work of Marguerite Porete raises complex questions in these
areas, which are further explored by a trio of her near
contemporaries. Their respective meditations are thoroughly
analysed and then skilfully brought into dialogue. What emerges
from Dillard's synthesis of these voices is a contemporary mystical
theology that is rooted in Hugh of Balma's affective approach,
sharpened through critical engagement with Meister Eckhart's
intellectualism, and strengthened by crucial insights gleaned from
the writings of John Ruusbroec. The fresh examination of these
thinkers - one of whom paid with her life for her radicalism - will
appeal to philosophers and theologians alike, while Dillard's own
propositions demand attention from all who concern themselves with
the nature of the union between the soul and God.
