'My only scope was to teach the naked truth, with humility, sincerity, and perspicuity'. Thus open Miguel Molinos' Spir-
itual Guide. Miguel Molinos was a pious, 17th century mystic and the founder of Quietism. Eventually his Quietist teachings
were condemned, and he was jailed. Nevertheless, for a few years, his book Spiritual Guide was widely circulated In it, Molinos claims that true spirituality consists in passive reflection of God and withdraw-al from the world. He interacts with many of the Church fathers, often citing their work. The overarching purpose of Spiritual Guide is to encourage believers to conform their will to that of God's.
