Reseña del editor:

“He was educated at Plessis College in Paris and at the seminary of Saint Sulpice, where he received holy orders in 1675. In 1678 he was appointed head of an institution, then newly organized in Paris, for the reception of women converts to the Roman Catholic faith; and the success with which he there discharged his duties led to his appointment in 1686 as head of a mission to Saintonge for the conversion of the Huguenots. In 1689 Louis XIV entrusted to him the education of his grandson, the duke of Burgundy, and to his task he devoted himself with unwearied assiduity. In the result it was held that the duke was brought up on too high ideals, which left him pious but emasculated; and in 1694 he was created archbishop of Cambray. A theological dispute with Bossuet, his former instructor, on the subject of Quietism terminated in the condemnation of Fenelon’s side of the controversy by Pope Innocent XII and his banishment to his diocese by Louis XIV. To the Pope’s decision Fenelon unreservedly and humbly submitted. The rest of his life was spent in devoted labor in his diocese.

“His works on philosophy, theology and the belles-lettres have immortalized his name. He was familiar with the best models of ancient and modern times and his mind was animated by a mild an gentle spirit of benevolence. His style is fluent and pleasing, pure and harmonious.” -The Encyclopedia Americana: A Library of Universal Knowledge, Volume 11

Biografía del autor:

Fenelon was a spiritual compatriot of Madame Jeanne Guyon, and like her sought the way to the deeper inner life of total abandonment to God in Christ. And like Madame Guyon, he found it, and taught it to hundreds in his lifetime, and to hundreds-of-thousands since then through his writings.
