The Imitation of Christ (Paperback)
by Thomas A. Kempis
(Translated by William Benham with an Introduction by Frederic W. Farrar)
The 15th-century Dutch priest Thomas à Kempis is best known for his timeless Christian devotional masterpiece, The Imitation of Christ. Written under the influence of the Devotio Moderna (Modern Devotion) movement, the book was a passionate call for religious reform. Kempis championed a return to core Christian principles, urging believers to embrace humility, obedience, and a simple life.
Arguably the most famous Christian devotional work next to the Bible, The Imitation of Christ is deeply focused on the interior life and a spiritual withdrawal from the world. It was immensely popular from its very first publication in 1418 and remained a vital text straight through the Protestant Reformation.
To guide the reader's spiritual journey, the work is divided into four distinct sections:
- Admonitions Profitable for the Spiritual Life
- Admonitions Concerning the Inner Life
- On Inward Consolation
- Of the Sacrament of the Altar
This beautiful edition is printed on premium acid-free paper. It features the classic translation by William Benham and includes an insightful introduction by Frederic W. Farrar.
Price includes taxes.
