A Mystic's Passion

Markwald, Rudolf K.: A Mystic's Passion

The Spirituality of Johannes von Staupitz in his 1520 Lenten Sermons. Translation and Commentary. This interpretation of a homiletic work of art by Johannes von Staupitz, Luther's mentor, leads the reader to an insight into his mystic sprituality. Rudolf Markwald reveals Staupitz' deep concern for the integrity of the Church and his personal apprehensions at the dawn of the Reformation. Disclosing the synthesis between Staupitz' glowing vision of the Cross and his challenge for Church renewal by the new birth of its people, this volume gives a fresh perspective of the fervor of these messages and his quest for defusing tensions. In his introductory remarks, Markwald addresses the historical context as well as biographical details and elaborates on Staupitz' style of preaching against the backdrop of his contemporaries. Technicalities of the translation, which follows a nun's 1540 transcription of the now lost 1520 original, as well as general questions regarding the manuscript's provenance and tradition are also discussed.
