Home / The Imitation of Christ
The Imitation of Christ (Latin: De Imitatione Christi) by Thomas à Kempis is one of the most influential works of Christian spirituality and one of the most widely read devotional books in the history of Western Christianity. Originally written in the early 15th century, this book is a profound meditation on the inner life of faith, humility, prayer, and devotion to Christ. It has been cherished by Christians of all denominations for centuries as a guide to living a Christ-centered life.
The work is traditionally attributed to Thomas à Kempis, a 15th-century German monk of the Canons Regular of St. Augustine, though some scholars debate its authorship. The book is organized into four books or sections, each of which addresses a different aspect of the spiritual journey. These books cover themes such as humility, suffering, the love of God, and the inner life of the Christian, offering practical guidance on how to emulate the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
