The Imitation of Christ<br>
The Imitation of Christ, by Thomas à Kempis, is a Christian
devotional book first composed in Medieval Latin as De Imitatione
Christi (c. 1418–1427). 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. The devotions of the books emphasise
devotion to the Eucharist as the key element of spiritual life.The
Imitation of Christ is a handbook for the spiritual life arising
from the Devotio Moderna movement, which Thomas followed. The
Imitation is perhaps the most widely read Christian devotional
work after the Bible, and is regarded as a devotional and
religious classic. The book was written anonymously in Latin in
the Netherlands c. 1418–1427. Its popularity was immediate, and
after the first printed edition in 1471-72, it was printed in 745
editions before 1650. Apart from the Bible, no book had been
translated into more languages than the Imitation of Christ at the
time.<br>
