The English religious heritage

the long version

The purpose of this work is to introduce readers of English to the growth of the spiritual life according to an English idion coined during the later Middle Ages up to the fifteenth century. This idiom has largely been lost to the English tongue through the victorious supervention of the Spanish and French 'spiritualities' which have carried the day since the Counter-Reformation. This is meant to introduce the English Mystics as a guide to using them as spiritual masters.
