Thomas A. Kempis

Of the Imitation of Christ Thomas A. Kempis

Originally published in 1888, this translation of Kempis? well-known Catholic Christian spiritual book is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Originally written at the beginning of the fifteenth century in Latin for a readership of monastics and ascetics, the work is a guide to devotion which was intended to assist the soul in its pursuit of holiness. A canonical work that is thoroughly recommended reading for any amateur or professional theologian. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
