Beschreibung:
David Crowner is professor emeritus of German Language and Literature at Gettysburg College and author of two language programs for college German. Gerald Christianson, professor emeritus of church history at Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary, is the co-editor of Introducing Nicholas of Cusa; Accept Pius, Reject Aeneas; and The Church, the Councils, and Reform. Together, they collaborated on The Spirituality of the German Awakening.
This translation of Erich Meuthens well-known biography of Nicholas of Cusa presents the foremost summary of Cusanuss life and thought. From its original edition in 1964 through its seventh edition in 1992, Meuthens sketch has found an appreciative audience. As Meuthen takes readers through Cusanuss life (1401-1464) they will be amazed that, in an age when writers set down every word with quill and ink, and one traversed every mile on land by foot or horse, Cusanus covered thousands of miles, maintained detailed administration of church affairs, rose in rank to cardinal, served as a papal legate, and still found time to write penetrating treatises such as The Catholic Concordance, Learned Ignorance, The Vision of God, and The Peace of Faith.
