Grootes theological and spiritual contributions, rooted in a critique of the materialism and externalism of the medieval Church, emphasized the transformation of the inner life of the believer. His call for personal devotion, humility, and simplicity resonated with a growing dissatisfaction with ecclesiastical corruption, providing a path for spiritual renewal that transcended institutional rituals and clerical power. The Brotherhood of Common Life, which Groote founded, became a model of communal living and lay participation in the Christian spiritual life, emphasizing the imitation of Christ and the integration of secular work with spiritual practice.</p><p>Through a series of expanded chapters, the book traces Grootes early life and conversion, his spiritual teachings, his influence on later reformers such as Thomas Kempis, and the far-reaching impact of the Devotio Moderna on both Catholic and Protestant reform movements. It delves into Grootes theological principles, such as his focus on grace, personal transformation, and the rejection of worldly distractions, as well as his profound critique of the Churchs wealth and ritualism. The book also examines the political and ecclesiastical opposition Groote faced, his ability to navigate these challenges, and how his spirituality laid the groundwork for later movements in both the Catholic Counter-Reformation and the Protestant Reformation.</p><p>Grootes legacy is shown to have enduring relevance in the history of Christian spirituality, influencing not only the Reformation but also the ongoing dialogue between mysticism, lay spirituality, and ecclesiastical reform. His emphasis on simplicity, interior devotion, and the active participation of laypeople in spiritual life remains a powerful model for Christian practice and a reminder of the transformative power of authentic spirituality. The book concludes by highlighting the lasting impact of Grootes vision on both religious communities and broader Christian thought, showing how his ideas continue to shape spiritual movements today.</p>...6908995The Life and Works of Gerard Groote (13401384), Dutch Preacher, Mystic and Founder of the Devotio Moderna6161https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-life-and-works-of-gerard-groote--13401384---dutch-preacher--mystic-and-founder-of-the-devotio-moderna-9798230608998/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6819577/image.jpg?v=638738780362470000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259798230608998_W3siaWQiOiI5YWU0MzgxMC0wOTI1LTQ1NjgtYmM0NC0wMzhhOTA1YjI4MzAiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjYwLCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo2MCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6IklwcCIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMzBUMTk6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjp0cnVlfV0=9798230608998_<p>This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the life, works, and spiritual influence of Gerard Groote (13401384), the Dutch preacher, mystic, and founder of the Devotio Moderna movement.
