Happiness and Holiness : Selected Writings of Thomas Traherne Paperback / softback
Edited by Denise Inge
Part of the Canterbury Studies in Spiritual Theology series
Paperback / softback
Description
The 17th century writer Thomas Traherne is increasingly being recognised and studied as a theologian as well as a poet.
The discovery, in 1997, announced by the author of this volume, of five new prose works and a poetic work has given huge impetus to the study of Traherne in literature and theology.
This affordable, concise introduction to Traherne's life and work concerns Traherne primarily as a theologian and places him in an historical and intellectual context he has thus far lacked.
It demonstrates his distinctive contribution to Anglican theology.
Consisting of a 10,000 word introductory essay and biography it is followed by extracts from Traherne's work under the following headings: Creatures and Powers, Holiness and Happiness, Sin and Salvation, Christian Liberty, Advice on Ministry, and Prayers.
