While Peter of John Olivi (d. 1298) is generally classified more as a theologian
and/or philosopher than as a spiritual director, Robert Karris presents
several short works by Olivi which clearly indicate that he was concerned for
the spiritual progress of lay people, too. Besides Olivi s four spiritual writings
The Armed Soldier, The Prayer of Thanksgiving, Lessons on Growth in the
Spiritual Life and Remedies against Spiritual Temptations Karris adds his
treatise on The Lord s Prayer, on The Seven Sentiments of Christ Jesus, and an
abbreviated version of his commentary on Mary s response to Gabriel in Luke
1:26-38.
In addition to the works of Olivi, Karris provides a plethora of footnotes to aid
the reader, and in an appendix he has translated two interpretive parallels to
help readers see where Olivi follows traditional lines of thought and where he
diverges into his own unique treatment.
For too long the temptation to dismiss Olivi as a Franciscan reformer who ran afoul of the Roman authorities
after his death has kept his writings in the background of Franciscan scholarship. Now, with this short but penetrating
introduction to another facet of Peter of John Olivi s ministry, Karris gives us reason to look again and
find new treasures in the life of Olivi which can enrich us today. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Olivi is an interesting writer. He has mystical sensibilities that are quite undeniable. His apocalyptic side comes out here and there as well. This is quite an interesting little book from the writings of a Franciscan that is an early example of how not all pre-Reformation Catholic Christians were dutiful followers of the Papacy. Well worth reading. ( )
