The Fire of Love

About this book

The Fire of Love is the best-known work of Richard Rolle, the fourteenth-century English hermit whose writings stirred a movement of solitary devotion. Rolle describes the soul's progress through heat, sweetness, and song — the felt fire of love for Jesus — and defends the contemplative life against its critics. It is the classic firsthand account of English medieval mysticism.
