'Molinos The Quietist'' (1883) written by John Bigelow explores the life and teachings of Miguel de Molinos, a Spanish mystic and theologian who founded the Quietist movement in the 17th century. The movement emphasized the importance of spiritual contemplation and the abandonment of external religious practices. Bigelow delves into Molinos' beliefs and how they were received by the Catholic Church, which eventually condemned him and followers as heretics. It also examines the political and social milieu of the time, including the Inquisition and the power struggles between the Church of Rome and the Spanish monarchy.
