Imitation
of Christ
Translated by Ronald Knox and Michael Oakley
Author: Thomas a Kempis
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.”
