About the Author:

FRAN�OIS DE SALIGNAC DE LA MOTHE-F�NELON (commonly known as Fran�ois F�nelon) (6 August 1651 – 7 January 1715), was a French Roman Catholic archbishop, theologian, poet and writer. In about 1675, F�nelon was ordained as a priest, although he initially dreamed of becoming a missionary to the East. In 1688, F�nelon first met Madame Guyon. He was deeply impressed by her piety and actively discipled her. He would later become a devotee and defended her brand of Quietism. He died on 7 January 1715. JEANNE-MARIE BOUVIER DE LA MOTTE-GUYON (commonly known as Madame Guyon) (18 April 1648:6 – 9 June 1717) was a French mystic and one of the key advocates of Quietism, although she never called herself a Quietist. Quietism was considered heretical by the Roman Catholic Church. A commission in France found most of Madame Guyon’s works intolerable and the government confined her, first in a convent, then in the Bastille, leading eventually to her exile to Blois, France, where she ultimately died at the age of 68. P�RE LACOMBE, the spiritual mentor of Madame Guyon, was imprisoned with her in the Bastille.
