Jahrhunderts und die Devotio moderna Devotio moderna bezeichnt die religiöse Gesinnung und Bemühung, die an bewusste individuelle Reflexion der Religionserfahrng mit praktischen Folgen gerichtet ist. Der Begriff devotio moderna wird im Rückblick durch die niederländische Bewegung dieses Namens, die zum konkreten theologischen und praktischen Begriffsinhalt beitrug, bestimmt. Aus ihn ergibt sich die allgemeine Begriffsabmessung als bewusste Glaubensreflexion des Einzelnen, Individualismus des innhaftigen Glaubenserlebnis und innere Erneuerung des Menschen, die als der Weg von Nachfolge Christi bezogen zum Ideal der apostolichen Urkirche verstanden werden.

Ihre direkte Abhängigkeit auf irgeneiner Form von einer böhmischen Devotio moderna lässt sich nicht beweisen und ist auch nicht vorauszusetzen. Die böhmische und niederländische Devotio moderna weist Paralellen und Ähnlichkeiten aus, die sich erklären lassen durch das...
