Joachim of Flora (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169186675)

Joachim of Flora is a book written by Emile Gebhart that explores the life and work of Joachim of Fiore, a medieval Italian theologian and mystic. The book delves into Joachim's ideas and the impact they had on the religious and political landscape of his time. Joachim of Fiore's teachings were controversial and challenged the established norms of the Catholic Church, which led to his condemnation as a heretic. However, his ideas continued to influence thinkers and theologians for centuries to come. Gebhart's book provides a comprehensive overview of Joachim's life and work, including his writings on the Trinity, the Apocalypse, and the coming of a new age. The book also examines the historical context in which Joachim lived, including the rise of the Franciscan and Dominican orders, the Crusades, and the struggles between the papacy and secular rulers. Overall, Joachim of Flora is a fascinating exploration of a pivotal figure in medieval history and theology.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Mystics and Heretics in Italy at the End of the Middle Ages, by Emile Gebhart.
