5对清**默想的研究很少。LouisMartz研究默想和诗词之间的密切关系,就巴斯特的默想观写过一篇批判性的章节(ThePoetryofMeditation[NewHaven:Yale,1954]).卡夫曼(U.MiloKaufmann)说明了清**默想对约翰本仁的《天路历程》的重要影响(ThePilgrim’sProgressandTraditionsinPuritanMeditation[NewHaven:Yale,1966]).BarbaraLewalski让人更关注抗独具罗宗特色的默想所带来的贡献(Donne’s“Anniversaries”andthePoetryofPraise,theCreationofaSymbolicMode[Princeton:UniversityPress,1973]andProtestantPoeticsandtheSeventeenth-CenturyReligiousLyric[Princeton:UniversityPress,1979]).NormanGrabo有力地对Martz关于在十七世纪中叶之前加尔文主义思想拦阻默想艺术的发展的观点进行了反击(TheArtofPuritanDevotion,.Seventeenth-CenturyNews26,1[1968]:8).FrankLivingstoneHuntley也细致地把抗罗宗默想归类为哲学上是伯拉图式的,心理学上是奥古斯丁式的,神学上是保罗和加尔文式的,与之相对的是,罗马天主教的默想在亚里斯多德和托马斯主义的(BishopJosephHallandProtestantMeditationinSeventeenth-CenturyEngland:AStudyWiththetextsofTheArtofDivineMeditations[1606]andOccasionalMeditations[1633][Binghamton,N.Y.:CenterforMedieval&EarlyRenaissanceStudies,1981]).SimonChan对清**默想提出了让人耳目一新的历史评价,比以前审视的涵括了更大范围的文字内容,超越了文学观点之外(ThePuritanMeditativeTradition,1599-1691:AStudyofAsceticalPiety.[Ph.D.dissertation,CambridgeUniversity,1986]).他论证说,在十七世纪后半段,清**默想沿着一个更讲方**的方向不断发展。尚无一本审视清**默想神学性和实际性评介的书。
