George Herbert (1593-1633) is one of English spirituality's most
treasured voices and, with his contemporaries Lancelot Andrewes
Izaak Walton and Nicholas Ferrar, he epitomises the best of the
17th century Anglican tradition - learned, holy and self-effacing.
Before settling down as a country parish priest - a calling that
was cut short by his early death aged 39 - he was a complex
character who led a varied life in politics and academia. His inner
tensions resulted in memorable writing and a rich spirituality.
Here, Philip Sheldrake explores themes in Herbert's work that stand
out as most important: his deep biblical and liturgical roots, his
Christ-centred spirituality, his emphasis on the importance of the
everyday, his strong sense of place, his understanding of
discipleship, his approach to prayer, and, his spirituality of
service. Richly illustrated with excerpts from his poetry, prose
and letters, this volume offers a comprehensive study guide to one
of the most loved poetic voices.
