by Thomas à Kempis; translated by William C. Creasy
Fresh, contemporary translation of the most widely published book after the Bible, this classic offers insights into our relationship with God.
William Creasy's version of The Imitation of Christ is more than a new translation of a timeless work. It is a re-creation of a 560-year-old classic that infuses it with life and meaning for contemporary readers. Working from the 1441 autograph manuscript, Creasy succeeds in creating a dramatically different interpretation of The Imitation by working through its historical, cultural, and linguistic contexts. For Creasy, Thomas à Kempis offers profound insights into a person's relationship with God, helping us better understand why it has been the most important work of Christian devotion for over 500 years.
