My Favourite Mystic 13: Liam Temple on Augustine Baker
Manage episode 312600135 series 3238810
AJ Langley speaks to Liam Temple about the mystical writer and Benedictine Augustine Baker (1575-1641). We discussed his conversion experience, his eagerness for a quiet life of contemplation, the repeated thwarting of that desire, his advise to nuns on achieving mystical contemplation, his understanding of the varieties of mysticism, and how anyone who criticises is a scholastic who just doesn't understand mystical experience.
Dr Liam Temple is Capuchin Fellow in the History of Catholicism at Durham University. His first book, Mysticism in Early Modern England, was published with Boydell and Brewer in 2019 and he has published widely on the influence of the Benedictine monk Augustine Baker and the role mysticism played in early modern English convents.
