The Mirror Of Simple Souls

""The Mirror of Simple Souls"" is a medieval mystical treatise written by the French author Marguerite Porete, translated and annotated by the English writer and mystic, Evelyn Underhill. The book explores the concept of divine love and the journey of the soul towards union with God. Porete's writing was controversial during her time and she was eventually burned at the stake for heresy. Underhill's translation and commentary provide insight into the historical and theological context of the work, as well as its relevance to contemporary spirituality. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of medieval mysticism, as well as anyone interested in exploring the intersection of spirituality and social justice.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Essentials of Mysticism and Other Essays, by Evelyn Underhill.
