{"product_id":"2940012684899","title":"The Following of Christ","description":"\"If this little volume does not proceed from Tauler himself, it\u003cbr\u003eproceeds from one of that remarkable group of German mystics--Friends\u003cbr\u003eof God,' as they called themselves, amongst whom the great Dominican\u003cbr\u003epreacher of Strasburg lived and worked. The contents of the little\u003cbr\u003ebook, notwithstanding its forms and repetitions, are full of value.\u003cbr\u003eTherefore we may well say in this case with the Imitation,--which\u003cbr\u003eitself, also, issued from the deep religious movement felt in the\u003cbr\u003eGermanic lands along the Rhine in the fourteenth century--Ask not who\u003cbr\u003ewrote it, but attend to what it says.' Mr. Morell's translation is on\u003cbr\u003ethe whole a sound and good one, with the signal merit of reproducing\u003cbr\u003ethe plain and earnest tone characteristic of the original.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* * * * * * *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The reader will recognise the strain of homage which from age to age\u003cbr\u003esuccessive generations of mystics have ever loved to uplift to the\u003cbr\u003eeternal word'! I will not say that it is entirely satisfying, but at\u003cbr\u003eleast it is always refreshing, consoling, and ennobling. Whoever turns\u003cbr\u003eto the little volume which Mr. Morell has translated, will find plenty\u003cbr\u003ein this strain to give him refreshment. But he will find more than\u003cbr\u003ethis. He will find sentences fitted to abide in the memory, to be a\u003cbr\u003epossession for the mind and soul, to form the character.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMATTHEW ARNOLD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(In the Nineteenth Century).","brand":"Tauler Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183094415600,"sku":"2940012684899","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012684899_p0.jpg?v=1763571796","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012684899","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
