Description Wiki

The Imitation of Christ, by Thomas   Kempis, is a Christian devotional book first composed in Medieval Latin as De Imitatione Christi (c. 1418 1427).[1][2] The devotional text is divided into four books of detailed spiritual instructions: (i) "Helpful Counsels of the Spiritual Life", (ii) "Directives for the Interior Life", (iii) "On Interior Consolation", and (iv) "On the Blessed Sacrament". The devotional approach of The Imitation of Christ emphasises the interior life and withdrawal from the mundanities of the world, as opposed to the active imitation of Christ practised by other friars.[1] The devotions of the books emphasise devotion to the Eucharist as the key element of spiritual life.[1]

The Imitation of Christ is a handbook for the spiritual life arising from the Devotio Moderna movement, which Thomas followed.[3]The Imitation is perhaps the most widely read Christian devotional work after the Bible,[2][4] and is regarded as a devotional and religious classic.[5] Its popularity was immediate, and it was printed 745 times before 1650.[6] Apart from the Bible, no book had been translated into more languages than the Imitation of Christ at the time.[7]
