Of the Imitation of Christ. By Thomas à Kempis (1912)

Beschrijving

It was first composed in Latin ca.1418-1427. It is a handbook for spiritual life arising from the Devotio Moderna movement, where Kempis was a member.

The Imitation of Christ is an immensely valuable resource to those seeking to deepen their spiritual life. It is not Holy Writ, so each statement ought to be weighed carefully for its merit, but it still comes awfully close. The Imitation of Christ may have been written for Late Medieval Catholic monks, but it’s still remarkably applicable to the spiritual walk of modern Protestants and Christians of all denominations.
