Description

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 religious thinker. Fenelon showed how it was once conceivable to have devotion and faith in the original Age of Reason. In many respects, rationality still rules today in religion and culture, and because of this, Fenelon speaks to modern Christians wanting deeper faith and a meaningful inner life.

His writings have never been as accessible as they’re now in these vigorous new translations. The Complete Fénelon includes multiple hundred of Fenelon’s letters of spiritual counsel, in addition to 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 really useful reading and bibliography make this the first place to start in any study of Francois Fenelon.

François Fénelon was once 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, Fénelon became a wise mentor to many members of the king’s court. Later exiled for political reasons, he set out to strengthen the lot of peasants of his diocese. His letters of counsel and religious meditations have found a wide audience for more than three centuries.
