In his masterwork, Die geestelijke brulocht (The SpiritualEspousals), the fourteenth-century Flemish mystic Jan van Ruusbroec usedhis profound knowledge of Trinitarian theology to show that the apex ofthe spiritual life consists in our being taken up into the love of thethree persons of the blessed Trinity. The care and precision with whichRuusbroec describes the ascent from the active life to the interiorlife and from there to the culmination of the contemplative life isevident in the way he carefully distinguishes between three terms thatcould all be translated as love minne, karitate, andliefde. James Wiseman's astute reading of Ruusbroec's treatiseshows how the affective aspect of love (liefde) and the aspectthat expresses itself in virtuous activity (karitate) are bothsubsumed under the all-embracing reality of minne, the love thatflows forth from the triune God and then draws us back to a blissfulreunion with our loving Source.
