The Mirror of Simple Souls

De: Marguerite Porete

Narrado por: Jody Lebel

Dive into the profound depths of Christian spiritualism with The Mirror of Simple Souls, an early 14th-century work by Marguerite Porete. It's exploration of Oneness with God, though influential at the time of its writing, was denounced by Church authorities as heretical and banned for its supposed connection to Antinomianism.

Since its attribution to Porete in the 1940s, The Mirror of Simple Souls has come to be regarded as among the most important works of medieval Christian mysticism.

I didn’t like the narrator

There are thousands of other books out there that illustrate the same sentiment and wisdom. The language is mind numbing. The narrator has a very childish way of reading. That was hard for me to listen to.

Archaic and difficult for laity to follow, I look forward to a modern reading.

The enticing chapter titles were followed by an archaic and difficult language for today’s laity to follow, I still can’t understand why the author was killed for writing this book. I eagerly look forward to a modern version with a contemporary reader. Hope I’m notified when it does get updated!

Unlistenable
