and Chapter Five applies the same model to analyzing the doctrine and practice of the medieval German mysticism of Meisler Eckhart, Henry Suso, and John Tauler (13th-14th centuries). In the town of Suso, which lost 18 men under the age of 30 to the April uprising, most of the dead had graduated from the country's privately run Islamic schools (pondoks), which are often a last resort for families that cannot afford mainstream college educations. It is here that asceticism acquired some of its negative reputation because of exaggerated practices such as flagellation, wearing "hair-shirts," putting on a spiked glove every night as did Henry Suso, wearing a chain embedded in one's body as did John of the Cross, and even some body mutilation. |
