In doing so, be brings the depths of the Christian philosophical and theological tradition to bear on the vital everyday issue of how Christians can imitate Christ.In this new modernization-complete with its own introduction and scholarly notes-by Colin Chan Redemer, readers can encounter a lost masterwork of Christian ethics without stumbling over arcane language.Traherne is less well-known than he ought to be, given his rich prose and ability to weave together theology, anthropology, and virtue ethics, all in service of Christian devotion.
