Twenty-first century Christians are now discovering the wisdom of this controversial theologian and spiritual thinker. F nelon showed how it was possible to have devotion and faith in the original Age of Reason. In many respects, rationality still rules today in religion and culture, and as a result, F nelon speaks to modern Christians wanting deeper faith and a meaningful inner life.

His writings have never been as accessible as they are now in these lively new translations. The Complete F nelon includes more than one hundred of F nelon's letters of spiritual counsel, as well as meditations on eighty-five other topics. Also translated here into English for the first time are F nelon's personal reflections on twenty-one seasons and holidays of the Christian year. An introduction from bestselling translator Robert J. Edmonson and in-depth recommended reading and bibliography make this the first place to start in any study of Francois F nelon.
