The Imitation of Christ by William C Creasy
The Imitation of Christ has been standard fare in religious training and personal devotion for centuries. Although the language and style of Creasy's translation has been crafted for modern readers, the fervor and power of the original text have not been lost. Includes a new foreword by William C. Creasy. Includes the complete introduction, scriptual references and allusions, and index.
William C. Creasy is a retired UCLA professor whose love for the Imitation is both professional and personal. He first discovered the book as a college student and read it out of academic interest. In graduate school, he used sixteenth century English translations of the Imitation to study the development of English prose. And when, like Dante, he found himself lost at the halfway point in life’s journey, he returned to the Imitation and found spiritual guidance that led him to Christian faith. So for Creasy, translating the Imitation is not merely an academic activity—it is a labor of love and spiritual devotion. He is the creator of www.logosbiblestudy.org.
