The Following of Christ, in Four Books by à Kempis Thomas
"The Following of Christ, in Four Books" by Thomas à Kempis is a Christian devotional work composed between 1418-1427. Written anonymously in Medieval Latin within the Devotio Moderna movement, this spiritual handbook guides readers through interior life and withdrawal from worldly concerns. Divided into four books of detailed instructions, it emphasizes devotion to the Eucharist and provides counsels for spiritual living. After the Bible, it became perhaps the most widely read Christian
devotional text, with over 745 editions printed before 1650 and translations into numerous languages. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
