背景と歴史
聖書に次いで、歴史上最も多く印刷されたキリスト教の書物である。「新しい信心」に属する四つの短い論考からなる。内的な生、人を善くしない学問への不信、そして聖体。トマス・ア・ケンピスへの帰属は最も広く受け入れられているが、異論がないわけではない。ロヨラのイグナティウスとトマス・モアが読み、何世紀ものちには、まるで信心深くない人々も読んだ。

All of us are weak and frail; hold thou no man more frail than thyself. CHAPTER III Of the knowledge of truth CHAPTER III Of the knowledge of truth Happy is the man whom Truth by itself doth teach, not by figures and transient words, but as it is in itself.(1) Our own judgment and feelings often deceive us, and we discern but little of the truth. What doth it profit to argue about hidden and dark things, concerning which we shall not be even reproved in the judgment, because we knew them not? Oh, grievous folly, to neglect the things which are profitable and necessary, and to give our minds to things which are curious and hurtful! Having eyes, we see not. 2. And what have we to do with talk about genus and species! He to whom the Eternal Word speaketh is free from multiplied questionings.…
