Review Quotes:
"This excellent volume grew from a 2008 conference organized by Poor and Smith, both scholars of medieval studies at Princeton. . . . In their introduction, the editors write that the essays explore 'the survival and transformation of mysticism between the late Middle Ages and the early modern period.' . . . This study is for those interested in ecumenism and in understanding based on a 'politics of love.'" --Choice
