Drawing upon historical contexts, primary sources, and deep theological analysis, the chapters trace Jacopones journey from his early life as a wealthy scholar to his radical conversion and entry into the Franciscan Order, where he embraced the ideals of poverty, humility, and intense spiritual devotion.</p><p>His personal struggles, including his outspoken opposition to the materialism of the Church, particularly under Pope Boniface VIII, and his subsequent imprisonment, provide the backdrop for a profound critique of ecclesiastical corruption and the growing secularization of the Church. Jacopones mystical theology, deeply influenced by the teachings of St. Francis of Assisi, highlights the transformative power of suffering and divine love. Central to his spirituality is the notion of <em>kenosis</em> (self-emptying), which he viewed as essential for true union with God.</p><p>The book delves into Jacopones poetic contributions, particularly his <em>laude</em>vernacular hymns that blend deep theological insights with raw emotional expression. These works not only served as vehicles for personal devotion but also as a means to engage the broader Christian community in a more intimate, mystical relationship with God. Through his use of suffering as a spiritual purifier and the passionate longing for divine love, Jacopones poetry aligns him with later Christian mystics, such as St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Ávila, while also offering a radical vision of discipleship that transcends institutional authority.</p><p>The legacy of Jacopone da Todi is explored in both historical and modern contexts, highlighting his lasting influence on Christian mysticism and devotional life. His unwavering commitment to a life of humility, poverty, and radical love continues to challenge and inspire contemporary Christian spirituality, making Jacopones voice as relevant today as it was in the 13th century. The book offers both a scholarly examination of Jacopones impact and an invitation for readers to engage with his deep theological and poetic insights, encouraging a more personal and transformative encounter with the divine.</p>...6909363The Life and Works of Jacopone da Todi (1230-1306)6161https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-life-and-works-of-jacopone-da-todi--1230-1306--9798230721307/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6820080/image.jpg?v=638738817707170000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259798230721307_W3siaWQiOiIzMjkwOTI0NC0xOWY4LTQ1YjUtOTg4Yy05MDliNDE5ODVkZjkiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjYwLCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo2MCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6IklwcCIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMzFUMDI6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9798230721307_<p>This book presents a comprehensive exploration of the life, works, and theological contributions of Jacopone da Todi (1230-1306), a pivotal figure in medieval Christian mysticism.
