Description of Paul G. Stanwood, author of William Law:
Often called the greatest of the post-Reformation mystics, William Law was a fellow at Emmanuel College, Cambridge and was ordained a priest in the Anglican Church. After losing his position at Cambridge for refusing to take the Oath of Allegiance to George I, he became the center of a small spiritual community. He was a religious guide to the Gibbon family and included among his disciples John and Charles Wesley. This edition contains his two greatest works: A SERIOUS CALL TO A DEVOUT AND HOLY LIFE, (a work written in a simple yet profound approach to the teaching of the Christian faith), THE SPIRIT OF LOVE, (Law shares his view of doctrine which demonstrate the depth of his developemnt of style and devotion).
