The Imitation of Christ
Category: Religion: Spirituality
Author: Thomas a Kempis (R Knox Translation
Copyright/published Year: 2005 by Ignatius
ISBN: 0898708729
Binding: Cloth
The spiritual classic by à Kempis, the second most widely read
spiritual book after the Bible, has had an astonishing impact on
the spiritual lives of countless saints, peasants, and popes for
centuries. Even today, the soul-searching words of the
fifteenth-century cleric Thomas à Kempis continue to resonate,
unbounded by time or geography. Drawing on the Bible, the Fathers
of the early Church and medieval mysticism, his four-part
treatise shrugs off the allure of the material world, blending
beauty and bluntness in a supremely spiritual call-to-arms.
This beautiful translation by Ronald Knox and Michael Oakley is considered by many teachers, writers, and readers to be the best English translation ever, and one that greatly enhances the life-changing insights of Thomas à Kempis. Illustrated.
"If we could construct a composite picture of all great Christians-Catholic or non-Catholic-of the last five hundred years who found The Imitation substantially beneficial, enlightening, and inspiring, we would need no further proof that familiarity with this great classic is an integral part of a mature spiritual life and even a path to holiness." -- Father Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R., Author, Arise From Darkness
