"The most engaging collection of the French mystics' writings now
available"
Twenty-first century Christians are now discovering the wisdom of
this controversial theologian and spiritual thinker. Fenelon showed
how it was possible to have devotion and faith in the original Age
of Reason. In many respects, rationality still rules today in
religion and culture, and as a result, Fenelon speaks to modern
Christians wanting deeper faith and a meaningful inner life.
His writings have never been as accessible as they are now in
these lively new translations. The Complete Fenelon includes more
than one hundred of Fenelon's letters of spiritual counsel, as well
as meditations on eighty-five other topics. Also translated here
into English for the first time are Fenelon's personal reflections
on twenty-one seasons and holidays of the Christian year. An
introduction from bestselling translator Robert J. Edmonson and
in-depth recommended reading and bibliography make this the first
place to start in any study of Francois Fenelon.
Francois Fenelon was a seventeenth-century French archbishop who
rose to a position of influence in the court of Louis XIV. Amid the
splendor and decadence of Versailles, Fenelon became a wise mentor
to many members of the king's court. Later exiled for political
reasons, he set out to improve the lot of peasants of his diocese.
His letters of counsel and spiritual meditations have found a wide
audience for more than three centuries.
