This is a guide to spiritual life stemming from the movement of which Kempis was a member. Imitation is perhaps the most read Christian prayer work next to the , and is considered a faithful and religious classic. Its popularity was immediate and it was printed 745 times until 1650. Apart from the Bible, no book was translated into more languages than the Imitation of Christ at the time. The text is divided into four books with detailed spiritual instruction: Useful Advice of Spiritual Life, Directives for Inner Life, On The Comfort of the Interior and On the Blessed . The approach adopted in The Imitation is characterized by its emphasis on inner life and withdrawal from the world, as opposed to the active imitation of Christ by other monks. The book pays great attention to the devotion of the as a key element of spiritual life. Background and History Reference main article: Imitation of Christ Contemporary Photography of Windesheim, where Devotio Moderna took root. The ideal of imitation of Christ was an important element of Christian theology, ethics and spirituality. References to this concept and its practice are found in the earliest Christian documents, such as Pauline Epistles. Saint Augustine saw imitation of Christ as a fundamental purpose of Christian life, and as a means to imitate the sins of Adam. Saint believed in physical as well as spiritual imitation of Christ, and advocated the path of poverty and preaching, like , who was poor at birth in the manger and died naked on the cross. The theme of imitation of Christ existed at all stages of Byzantine theology, and in the 14th century book Life in Christ Nikolai Kabasilas regarded the living personal life in Christ as a fundamental Christian virtue. Against this backdrop, the Devotio Moderna movement was started by Geert Groot, who was extremely dissatisfied with the state of the Church and what he perceived as a gradual loss of monastic traditions and a lack of moral values among the clergy. Devotio Moderna's initial focus was to revive true pious practices and transform and transform Clergy. The Imitation Was Written in the community of Devotio Modern as it flourished in Northern Europe, but went far beyond the movement that ended the Protestant . Between the theology of the Sum of St. Foma Aquinas, the Doctor of the Church, and the emotionally inspiring Imithitio Christie, a book of ascetic theology attributed to the Augustian mystic (1340-1396), who seems to have been the pastoral heir to St. Gilbert. The history book was written anonymously in Latin in the c. 1418-1427, and Thomas Kempis is usually accepted as an author. Several sources of power, including members of his own order, the name of Kempis as the author, and various modern , including one autograph code, bear his name. The 1874 edition of The Tour, France by Joseph N. Thiland, S.J., writes that the anonymous composition of the book is not surprising, as the author writes in The Imitation that one should love to be unknown. (Book 1, Ch. 2). Regarding the anonymity of the work, William C. Creasy also notes that the author of The Imitation Game wrote: Don't let the writer's authority or learning influence you, whether it's small or great, but let the love of pure truth draw you to reading. Don't ask, Who said that? but pay attention to what is said. (Book 1, Ch. 5). By 1471, manuscripts of the book were so often copied by hand and passed on to monasteries that there were about 750 preserved manuscripts of the Imitation. The manuscript of The 1441 book by Thomas Kempis is available at the Royal Library in Brussels. The first printed edition appeared in Augsburg in 1471-1472. By the end of the 15th century, the book had more than 100 print editions and translations into French, German, Italian and Spanish. The book received an enthusiastic response from the very first days, as described by George Pirkhamer's statement, to Nuremberg, regarding the 1494 edition: Nothing more sacred, nothing more honorable, nothing more religious, nothing in the beautiful more beneficial to the Christian commonwealth you can ever do than make known these works of Thomas and Kempis. The number of publications counted exceeds 2,000; The houses 1,000 different editions. The Bullingen collection, donated to the city of Cologne in 1838, contained 400 different editions at the time. De Baker lists 545 Latin and about 900 French editions. The critical edition was published in 1982. In 2015, a new translation of William Creasy from the original Latin text to English was published. The Teachings of the Imitation of Christ are divided into four books that give detailed spiritual guidance. The book One Chap. 1 from The Imitation of Christ, Chapman and the Hall The book First Imitation is called Useful Tips of Spiritual Life. The imitation comes from the first chapter of Book I, The Imitation of Christ and contempt for the vanity of the world (Latin: De Imitatione Christi et contemptu omnium vanitatum mundi). The imitation is sometimes referred to as Following Christ, which comes from the opening words of the first chapter: Whoever follows me will not go into darkness. Book 1 is about the way out of outer life - how positive duty allows and emphasizes inner life, abandoning all vain and illusory, resisting the temptations and distractions of life, refusing pride in learning and being humble, abandoning the disputes of theologians and patiently withstanding contempt and contradiction in the world. Kempis emphasizes the importance of loneliness and silence, how calmly our would be if we never went looking for ephemeral joys and did not worry about the affairs of the world... Kempis writes that The world and all its allure go away and following sensual desires leads to scattered conscience and distracted heart. (Chap.20) Kempis writes that it is necessary to meditate on death and live like a pilgrim and a stranger on earth... for our land is not a strong city. (Chap.23) On Judgment Day, Kempis writes that a kind and pure conscience will give more joy than all the philosophy that the learned, hot prayer will bring more happiness than the multi-profian banquet, silence will be more exciting than long tales, holy deeds will have more meaning than pleasant words. (Chap.24) Kempis writes that it is necessary to remain faithful and hot to God, and to keep a good hope of achieving victory and salvation, but to avoid self-confidence. Kempis cites the example of a anxious man who, hesitating between fear and hope and grief, walked down the aisle and said, Oh, if only I knew I would continue until the end. He immediately heard the divine answer: What if you knew that? What would you do? Do now what you would have done then and you will be very safe. After that, man gave himself god's will, and his anxiety and fear of the future disappeared. The book Two Books of Imitation is Directives for Inner Life. The book continues the theme of the First Book and contains instructions concerning inner peace, purity of heart, good conscience - for the moderation of our desires and desires, for patience, for submission of God, for love for Jesus, in order to bear the loss of comfort, and for the acceptance of the Cross. Kempis writes that if we have a clear conscience, God will protect us, and whoever God chooses to help any evil may cause harm. Kempis writes that when a person humiliates himself, God protects and protects him... God is a good word humble man. and after he was delivered low raises it to glory. (Chap.2) Kempis emphasizes the importance of good conscience: A man whose conscience is clear easily finds peace and satisfaction... People only see your face, but it is God who sees your heart. Men judge on foreign affairs, but only God can weigh the motives behind them. Kempis writes that we should believe in Jesus, not in people, and ... Do not trust and do not rely on a cane that is shaken ... All flesh is grass, and all its glory will fade like a flower in a field. Kempis writes that a false sense of freedom and self-confidence are obstacles to spiritual life. Kempis writes that Grace will always be given to the truly grateful, and what is given humbly is taken away from the proud. (Chap.10) Kempis writes that we should not ascribe to ourselves anything good, but attribute everything to God. Kempis asks us to be grateful for every little gift and we will be worthy of getting more to consider the least gift as big and most common as something special. Kempis writes that if we consider the dignity of the Darica, no gift will seem unimportant or small. (Chap.10) The last chapter of the King's Road of the Cross, Kempis writes that if we carry the cross willingly, it will lead us to the desired goal, but on the other hand, if we carry our cross reluctantly, we turn it into a heavy burden, and if we have to throw one cross, we will definitely find another, which is perhaps heavier. Kempis writes that we cannot carry the cross ourselves, but if we trust in the Lord, He will send us power from heaven. The Book Three Editions of 1505, Museum of Catarinaconven, Utrecht, Netherlands. Book 3, entitled About the Consolation of the Interior, is the longest of the four books. This book is in the form of a dialogue between Jesus and the . Jesus says that very few turn to God and spirituality because they want to listen more to the world and desires of their flesh than to God. Jesus says that the world promises things that pass and little value that are served with great enthusiasm; While He promises what is the most beautiful and eternal, and the hearts of men remain indifferent. Jesus says that a man who trusts me, I never send empty. When I make a promise, I keep it and I fulfill everything I promised, if only you stay true ... to the end. Jesus says that spiritual progress and perfection is to offer oneself to divine will and not to seek oneself in nothing small or great, in time or eternity. Jesus says not to worry about the future: Don't let your heart worry or be afraid. Jesus advises the disciple that all is not lost when the result is not as planned when someone thinks is the furthest from Jesus, is that Jesus is closest to when one thinks that all is lost, what victory is close at hand. Jesus says not to respond to difficulties as if there was no hope of liberation from him. Joseph Tiberenda summarizes the central theme of the third book with the doctrine in chapter 56: My son, to the point where you can leave yourself behind, to this extent you will be able to enter me. Just as you want nothing outside, you produce inner peace within you, and inner renunciation unites you with God. Jesus gives his important teaching: Follow me... I Am The Way, Truth and Life. Without the Path, there is no way; Without Truth, there is no knowledge; There is no life without life. I am the Path you must follow; I am the Truth you must believe in; I am the life you must hope for. The book Four Books of Four Imitations On the Blessed Sacrament is also a dialogue between Jesus and the disciple. Kempis writes that in this Sacrament spiritual grace is given, the power of the soul is replenished, and the recipient's mind is strengthened, and strength is given to the body weakened by sin. (Chap.1) Jesus says that the sooner a person surrenders completely to God and no longer seek anything of his own will or pleasure, but completely gives everything into God's hands, the sooner man will be united with God and will be in the world. Jesus continues, Nothing will make you happier or please you in the same way as being obedient to divine will. (Chap.15) Jesus also gives his no changeable doctrine - If you do not give up everything you have, you cannot be my disciple. To receive the Sacrament, Jesus says, Make pure mansions of your heart. Close the whole world and all its sinful noise and sit like a lonely sparrow on a countertop and, in the bitterness of your soul, reflect on your transgressions. Jesus says that there is no more worthy offer, no satisfaction more, for washing away sins, than to offer himself to the pure and complete God at a time when the Body of Christ is offered in and in Communion. (Chap.7) Influence of the Hungarian edition, 1891, Nagyv'rad imitation of Christ is regarded as the most important religious work in Catholic Christianity and is the most widely read devoted work next to the Bible. Apart from the Bible, no book has been translated into more languages than the Imitation of Christ. The book admired the following personalities: Saint , Chancellor of England and famous humanist, who was executed by King Henry VIII of England; Saint Ignatius Loyola, founder of the , of Rotterdam; and the twentieth century American Catholic writer and monk, . He was also admired by many others as and Protestant. The Jesuits give it an official place among their exercises. Kempis' Imitatio Christi was in close origin with Ignatius Loyola of the Devotio moderna movement, and it was confirmed and practiced by Saint Francis de Sail, deeply influencing his Introduction to Devout Life. , the founder of the Methodist Movement, listed The Imitation among the works that influenced him when he was applied. General Gordon carried him with him to the battlefield. Jose Rizal, a Filipino polymath and national hero, reportedly read the book while in detention at in , , shortly before the Spanish colonial government executed him for the sedition on 30 December 1896. , a 19th-century Hindu philosopher and founder of the Vedanta Society, drew a number of parallels between the teachings of the Imitation and . Vivekananda wrote the foreword and translation of The Imitation in 1899. Vivekananda always carry a copy of Bhagavad Gita and Imitation. The spiritual writer Eknath Isvaran compared the teachings of the Imitation with the . The imitation of Christ was an early influence on the spirituality of Saint Teresa Lisieux, who used it in her prayer life, distilled his message and used it in her writings, which then influenced in general. Teresa was so attached to the book and read it so many times that she could quote excerpts from her memory as a teenager. Theologian Shayler Mathews wrote that the Imitation represents an accurate description of Christ of the Gospels and gives an objective reading of the words of Jesus. He also wrote, For centuries, people have found inspiration in it to sacrifice and humility, and to the harshest self-examination... Anyone who has never been influenced by him has missed something that would make him more humble and more ambitious for the purity of life. The Spanish crypto-Muslim writer, known as Young Man Arevalo, included the adaptation of many excerpts from The Imitation in his Islamic dedicated work Summary of The Account and Spiritual Exercise. The adaptation of Christian devotional literature to his Islamic work was probably the result of his obligatory missionary sermons (after the forced conversion of Muslims in Spain) and lack of access to actual Islamic literature. Criticism of the Theologian Hans Urs von Baltasar wrote: it rejects and eliminates all speculative elements not only scholasticism, but also , and at the same time, it abstracts from the colorful diversity of the Bible and - as it is written for those who turned away from - ignores the world, in all its richness, as a field for Christian activity ... Instead of the sincere readiness of Catherine Siena, a muted and melancholy resignation runs through the book .... There is an abundance of warnings about peace, illusions of selfishness, dangers of speculation and active apostleship. Thus, even the idea of imitating Christ does not become a dominant prospect. There is no mention of the mediation of the human God, of access through Christ, in the Holy Spirit, to the Father. The mystery of the Church, therefore, also falls into view. The individual does not know that his love of God can only be fulfilled if it extends in love calm and into the Apostolic. All that remains is an escape from the world, a world that was not brought home in Christ. Rene Girard wrote, Jesus also does not offer an ascetic rule of life in the sense of Thomas Kempis and his famous Imitation of Christ, no matter how remarkable this work may be. stated that it was one of those books that I cannot hold in my hand without a physiological reaction: it exudes the spirits of the Eternal-Female, which is strictly for the French - or the Wagnerians.
