In the forests of medieval Brabant, a quiet priest composed some of the most daring and beautiful works in the history of Western mysticism. His name was John of of Ruusbroec (Jan van Ruusbroec), and his vision of the soul's journey toward God has lost none of its power in the seven centuries since he set it down.

The Wisdom of John of Ruusbroec: Mystic of the Flowing Light traces the life, thought, and enduring legacy of the fourteenth-century Flemish contemplative who transformed the Christian mystical tradition. Born in a small village south of Brussels, Ruusbroec served for decades as an ordinary chaplain before withdrawing to the forest priory of Groenendaal, where he spent the remaining thirty-eight years of his life writing, praying, and receiving seekers from across Europe.
