The Confessions/The Imitation of Christ (Harvard Classics, Vol 7)
Charles William Eliot - 1909
Augustine, of one of the great Fathers of the Church, traces a dialogue with his God and a journey toward rising above one's self. The Imitation of Christ, by Thomas a Kempis, is a pastiche of biblical and Catholic passages attributed to a humble scribe, and remains the most influential of Christian devotional writings.
