| Summary: | Steering a middle course between Pelagianism and Quietism is a perennial concern of the Christian mystics, and was an explicit preoccupation of John Tauler. Some of the most interesting recent literature on Tauler attends to one or another aspect of this concern : Ozment tries to show that Tauler was not a Pelagian, while Wrede argues against the interpretation of Tauler as a Quietist. The present study endeavors to synthesize and interpret certain essential texts in which Tauler defines his notion of passivity as an alternative to both the Pelagian and the Quietist extremes. |
