Holy Living and Dying with Prayers Paperback.

Holy Living and Dying with Prayers Paperback. The Hinten book is closer to a modern American work of contemporary Christian spiritual advice. I believe this book is misclassified as a paperback version of Taylor's work.

Holy Living and Holy Dying is the collective title of two books of Christian devotion by Jeremy Taylor. They were originally published as The Rules and Exercises of Holy Living in 1650 and The Rules and Exercises of Holy Dying in 1651. Holy Living is designed to instruct the reader in living a virtuous life, increasing personal piety, and avoiding temptations. Holy Dying is meant to instruct the reader in the "means and instruments" of preparing for a blessed death.

This volume contains abridged versions of Law's classic works as well as the time-tested writings Holy Living and Holy Dying by Jeremy Taylor and Introduction to the Devout Life by Francis DeSales.

Holy Living is designed to instruct the reader in living a virtuous life, increasing personal piety, and avoiding temptations. Each book contains discussions of theology, moral instruction, often prefaced as "The Consideration reduc'd to practise," and model prayers requesting divine assistance in achieving them. Holy Living is largely concerned with questions of practical morality, of a type that has hardly changed from the 17th century to today.

The Marvin Hinten book has Jeremy Taylor's name and title on the cover, but the text itself is not a rendering of Taylor's work, but
rather a contemporary Christian's inspiration and interpretation of it. I bought it thinking it was Taylor himself, and I was disappointed -- even more so when I got my hands on the real thing and read its beautiful 16th century language and classic, literate Anglicanism. The Hinten book is closer to a modern American work of contemporary Christian spiritual advice. I believe this book is misclassified as a paperback version of Taylor's work.

While this is a rather high price to pay for this now hard to find English spiritual classic, it is worth every penny.

Jeremy Taylor seems to be one of those authors that no one reads anymore; at least judging from the fact that his works are so hard to come by now. "Holy Living and Holy Dying" was once on every bookshelf, and it deserves to be.

As to its value as a spiritual tract, it was one of the works that John Wesley prized, and a profound influence on his life. I am no theologian, and have no special competence to critique the doctrine or spiritual presented here, though it seems unobjectionable and thoroughly orthodox, and enjoyable by Christians of any denomination. Southey's original -Father William- poem tells us that it was once a virtue to think and speak of death. Jeremy Taylor reminds us why.

It is Taylor's exalted prose style, at once solemn and rapturous, at once lush and austere, that draws me again and again to his writing. His majestic and mellifluous words, devoted here to the grand themes of the Christian life and hope, of mortality and eternity, are what drew in Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Thomas DeQuincey [upon whom the influence is obvious]. A taste is in order:

"As our life is very short, so it is very miserable; and therefore it is well that it is short. God, in pity to mankind, lest his burden should be insupportable and his nature an intolerable load, hath reduced our state of misery to an abbreviature; and the greater our misery is, the less while it is like to last; the sorrows of a man's spirit being like ponderous weights, which by the greatness of their burden make a swifter motion, and descend into the grave to rest and ease our wearied limbs; for then only we shall sleep quietly, when those fetters are knocked off, which not only bound our souls in prison, but also ate the flesh till the very bones opened the secret garments of their cartilages, discovering their nakedness and sorrow."

--- I envy his chops! You can -hear- him preaching. There are few finer masters of the music of English prose than Jeremy Taylor.
