by **Thomas a. Kempis** (Author)

The most important work of the _devotio moderna_ movement, Thomas à Kempis's classic, _The Imitation of Christ_, is saturated with Scripture and classical philosophy and reveals a deep understanding of human nature. Matthew Arnold called it "the most exquisite document, after those of the New Testament, of all that the Christian spirit has ever inspired."
