Inhaltsangabe

He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, saith the Lord. These are the words of Christ; and they teach us how far we must imitate His life and character, if we seek true illumination, and deliverance from all blindness of heart. Let it be our most earnest study, therefore, to dwell upon the life of Jesus Christ. His teaching surpasseth all teaching of holy men, and such as have His Spirit find therein the hidden manna. But there are many who, though they frequently hear the Gospel, yet feel but little longing after it, because they have not the mind of Christ. He, therefore, that will fully and with true wisdom understand the words of Christ, let him strive to conform his whole life to that mind of Christ.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Thomas à Kempis (c. 1380-1471) was a German-Dutch monk associated with the Devotio Moderna movement, which emphasized personal devotion, humility, and practical Christian living. Living much of his life in monastic communities in the Netherlands, he devoted himself to prayer, teaching, and writing spiritual works. The Imitation of Christ became one of the most widely read devotional texts in Christian history and has influenced generations of readers seeking a deeper spiritual life.
