“The Quiet Of The Soul,” originally authored by Father John de Bovilla in the 16th century, is a seminal work exploring the concept of peace of mind from a Christian perspective. This edition, edited by Rev. H. Collins, also includes the notable addition of “Cure for Scruples” by Dom Dominikus Schram, O.S.B., offering a comprehensive insight into managing religious scruples.
The book delves deep into the human psyche, addressing the perennial quest for inner peace amidst the spiritual and moral dilemmas of life. Bovilla’s approach is both contemplative and practical, resonating with readers seeking solace in turbulent times. Schram’s treatise, juxtaposed with Bovilla’s work, provides a nuanced understanding of the fine line between genuine moral conscience and obsessive scrupulosity.
Published in 1876 by Thomas Richardson and Sons, London and Derby, the book is a valuable addition to the field of religious literature, particularly in understanding Christian perspectives on mental tranquility and spiritual wellness. With only 81 pages, its concise yet profound narrative is easily accessible to readers of all backgrounds.
