Download or read book Friendship in Medieval Europe written by Julian Haseldine. This book was released on 1999. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friendship in the Middle Ages carried a meaning far removed from the modern concept of a development of personal sympathies between individuals.

Book Synopsis Spiritual Friendship by : Aelred of Rievaulx
Download or read book Spiritual Friendship written by Aelred of Rievaulx. This book was released on 2010-04-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritual Friendship is today the best known and perhaps most influential of the thirteen surviving works of Aelred, abbot of the great English Cistercian abbey of Rievaulx from 1147 '1167. During his abbacy he built Rievaulx into a place of spiritual welcome and physical prosperity, desiring to make it a mother of mercy" to those in need. In a three-book Ciceronian dialogue Aelred defines human friendship as sacramental, beginning in creation, as God sought to place his own love of society in all his creatures, linking friends to Christ in this life and culminating in friendship with God in beatitude. This fresh new translation makes the work crisply readable, allowing the intellectual and Christian insight of this great Cistercian teacher and writer to speak clearly to today's seekers of love, wisdom, and truth.
