Jan Van Ruusbroec (1293-1381), a Flemish mystical theologian, was
one of the most original Trinitarian thinkers in the medieval West.
Yet, his works - written in Middle-Dutch - have remained relatively
unknown. In this book, Rik Van Nieuwenhove presents the first major
study in English of Ruusbroec's thought. Van Nieuwenhove explores
in detail Ruusbroec's theology of the Trinity, his anthropology,
Christology, and his understanding of union with God. Van
Nieuwenhove's study reveals that Ruusbroec, while incorporating
aspects of the rich theological and spiritual tradition that
preceded him, wrote at the beginning of a modern age in which
mystical theology changed radically in nature. Ruusbroec claimed
that the divine Persons are subject to an eternal dynamic of
procession or out-going from the Father, on the one hand, and
returning to the shared divine essence, on the other. The human
person is called to participate in this continuous ebbing and
flowing by leading a life that combines contemplation and
charitable activity. Ruusbroec argued that mysticism should be
interpreted in terms of a transformation of the human person rather
than in terms of an immediate experience of God.
