William Law: Nonjuror and Mystic is a book written by J.H. Overton that explores the life and works of William Law, an 18th-century English theologian, writer, and mystic. Law was a prominent figure in the Nonjuror movement, which opposed the Church of England's oath of allegiance to the Hanoverian monarchs. He is also known for his religious writings, particularly his influential book A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life.The book provides a comprehensive biography of Law, tracing his early life, education, and career as a clergyman. It also delves into his involvement in the Nonjuror movement and his subsequent exile to Europe. Additionally, the book explores Law's mystical beliefs and his views on Christian spirituality, including his emphasis on the importance of inner devotion and personal holiness.Through a detailed analysis of Law's writings and correspondence, the book sheds light on his religious and philosophical ideas, as well as his influence on later Christian thinkers. Overall, William Law: Nonjuror and Mystic offers a fascinating portrait of a complex and influential figure in English religious history.1881. A sketch of the life, character, and opinions of William Law. He was one of the ablest of theological writers in a period remarkably fertile in theological literature. He lived a pure and conscientious life of Christian self-denial, at a time of great spiritual deadness. He was, in his later years, almost the only notable representative in England of a phase of Christianity which has attracted and helped to form many saintly characters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
