Book detail: The Confessions of St. Augustine, Including the Imitation of Christ is presented as a focused source page for quotations connected with this book, collection, transcript, or source record.
This volume combines two enduring works of Western Christian spirituality. The first part contains the Confessions, traditionally attributed to Saint Augustine of Hippo, a deeply personal autobiographical account of one man's spiritual journey toward divine grace and understanding of God, written in the late fourth century. The second part presents The Imitation of Christ, a medieval text attributed to Thomas à Kempis that offers practical guidance on Christian living, humility, and inner devotion. These works have remained central to Christian contemplative practice and have been widely read across denominational boundaries throughout Western religious history.
