Three Friends of God: Records from the Lives of John Tauler, Nicholas of Basle, Henry Suso, 6th Edition (With Active Table of Contents)
Description
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Frances Bevan (1827-1909), was a hymn translator and a poet. The hymns of Frances Bevan are chiefly translations from German Pietists (so-called) of the Middle Ages. There is found in them that mystical touch, that indefinable quality (also found in the hymns of J.N. Darby) that reached the inmost recesses of the soul, and calls for the deepest language of the spirit. By her beautiful translations, Mrs. Bevan has taught us something of that wealth of hymnology found in the German language; and in her interesting prose works "Three friends of God", "Sketches of the Quiet in the Land", [and "Trees Planted by the River", F.W.] she has drawn aside the curtain and revealed the atmosphere and environment of the hymnists themselves.
