William Law, Nonjuror and Mystic: A Sketch of His Life, Character, and Opinions is a biographical work by J.H. Overton that delves into the life and beliefs of William Law, an 18th-century English cleric and theologian. Law was known for his controversial views on Christianity, which included a rejection of the doctrine of predestination and a belief in the possibility of universal salvation. He also refused to swear allegiance to the Hanoverian monarchs after the Glorious Revolution, making him a nonjuror. Overton's book provides a detailed account of Law's life, from his early years as a student at Cambridge to his later years as a prolific writer and spiritual advisor. The book also explores Law's mystical beliefs, which were heavily influenced by the works of Jacob Boehme and other German mystics. Overall, William Law, Nonjuror and Mystic offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and thought of one of the most controversial figures in English religious history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, mysticism, or the intersection of religion and politics in 18th-century England.Author Of A Serious Call To A Devout And Holy Life Etc.
