Faculty Recommendation: Interest in Reformed spirituality has been growing in recent years, particularly with reference to the English Puritans. In this volume Professor de Reuver opens up the world of the Dutch Nadere Reformatie, of such theological luminaries as Teelink and Witsius, for an English-speaking audience, thus offering some of the riches of this tradition to the Anglo-American world. Dr. de Reuver is well qualified to do this, having spent a lifetime studying and teaching this material. This book is warmly recommended to all who want to deepen their understanding of the catholic dimensions of Reformed spirituality. - Carl R. Trueman, professor of historical theology and church history, Westminster Theological Seminary
Publisher Description: Sweet Communion introduces scholars and interested Reformed readers to the spirituality practiced during the Further Reformation, a seventeenth-century movement that strove for a contemporary application of the sixteenth-century Reformation. The book is organized around leading figures of the era, including Willem Teellinck, Theodorus à Brakel, Guiljelmus Saldenus, Wilhelmus à Brakel, and Herman Witsius.
Sweet Communion examines the quality, form, and roots of this period's spirituality. De Reuver determines that each of the Further Reformation authors promotes a spirituality in which the heart experiences communion with God by the word and Spirit. In examining the roots of this spirituality, de Reuver reaches back to the Middle Ages and the spirituality of Thomas à Kempis and Bernard of Clairvaux.
