This volume in the distinguished Classics of Western Spirituality series presents a collection of essays, poetry, and treatises by Cambridge Platonists, a movement in philosophical theology that flourished around Cambridge University in the 17th century and left a profound impact on the shape of subsequent religious life in the English speaking world. This school of thought emphasized the great goodness of God, the accord between reason and faith, an integrated life of virtue, and the deep joy of living in concord with God. In an important introduction, the editors situate the Cambridge Platonist movement in its historical and religious setting: the decades of turbulence and political crises surrounding the English Civil War. They then offer brief biographical portraits of the principal members of the movement: Benjamin Whichcote; Henry More; Ralph Cudworth; John Smith; Peter Sterry; Nathaniel Culverwell; and Anne Conway. Following the introduction is a representative sample of Cambridge Platonist writings. Scholars and students of 17th-century England, Christian spirituality of the early modern era, intellectual history, and faith and reason will appreciate this treatment of the spiritual life and work of an often overlooked, but significant, movement. +

Seller's Description:
New. This latest addition to the Classics of Western Civilization series introduces the reader to a mid-seventeenth century group of priests, theologians, philosophers and poets known as the Cambridge Platonists. Writing in a time of great political and religious conflict in England, this diverse group searched for an integrated and tolerant form of Christian spirituality. This spirituality was based on a blending of principles flowing from the philosophically-derived, generally inaccessible ''Creator'' of Plato and revelation from the personal Christian God of love and grace. Thus, a marriage of faith and reason was sought. Post seventeenth-century theology that celebrates the ''sweet reasonableness'' of the Christian faith clearly contains strong echoes of these original thinkers' work. Little regarded in modern times, this unique collection of writings--besides being interesting in its own right--offers a provocative model for a reconciliation of ''rationalistic'' and ''pietistic'' spiritualities, and the lines along which authentic Christian ecumenism might proceed.
