Book excerpt: Written by the English statesman, jurist, and scholar Saint Thomas More in the 16th century, "Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation" is a classic piece of Christian literature. The book, which was finished in 1534 when More was imprisoned in the Tower of London, is told as a fictional conversation between two characters, Vincent and his uncle Anthony. The conversation takes place during a turbulent time of political and religious unrest. Vincent turns to his uncle Anthony for support and direction since he is in danger of being persecuted for his faith. Anthony provides philosophical and spiritual insights on the nature of suffering, the transient nature of earthly problems, and the significance of facing adversity with faith and trust in God throughout the talk. More's strong religious beliefs are evident in the work, which tackles the issue of finding solace in difficult times by sticking to one's religion. More examines the moral and theological dimensions of suffering, highlighting Christian virtues such as hope, patience, and trust in divine providence. "Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation" is a literary work that demonstrates More's wit, intelligence, and humanistic perspective on life's hardships in addition to being a theological treatise.

Book excerpt: St. Thomas More wrote his masterpiece DIALOGUE OF COMFORT AGAINST TRIBULATION during the last fifteen months of his life, months spent imprisoned in the Tower of London as he awaited execution for treason in 1535. Second only to King Henry VIII, More was a man with much to live for. He had wealth, position, and a very happy home life; he certainly did not desire a martyr's death. He wrote this DIALOGUE in hopes that he might persuade himself to compromise his conscience, and so preserve his life and station. Assuming the form of a conversation between two cousins in war-torn Hungary, under the threat of Turkish invasion, the DIALOGUE explores the prospect of Christian suffering and death. Wise old Anthony counsels his troubled younger cousin Vincent, who asks what a Christian ought to do in the face of slavery and death, how one is to endure the daily fear and sadness that accompany the mere threat of slavery and death. Through patient conversation, Anthony develops a lesson on the acquisition and cultivation of virtue, markedly the virtue of fortitude. This Dialogue exhibits the cheerful humor, artful styling, and depth of thought that mark all the works of St. Thomas More; a true saint for the modern age.

Book excerpt: Thomas More is perhaps most familiar to us from his courageous struggle with Henry VIII, unforgettably portrayed in Robert Bolt's classic, A Man for All Seasons. But that final struggle, which ended in his execution for treason, was only the crowning act in a life that he had devoted to God long before. In the first selection in decades made for the general reader from his collected works, this volume traces More's journey of moral conviction in his own words and writings. Drawing on a variety of More's late writings-the extraordinary "Tower Works," written in prison, his poignant last letters to his daughter Margaret, and his poems, private prayers and devotional works-this collection will provide even readers lacking a background in Renaissance humanism or history with a rich introduction to a startlingly modern man of spiritual principle. Also included is the famous "Life of Sir Thomas More," written by his son-in-law, William Roper. In the annals of spirituality certain books stand out both for their historical importance and for their continued relevance. The Vintage Spiritual Classics series offers the greatest of these works in authoritative new editions, with specially commissioned essays by noted contemporary commentators. Filled with eloquence and fresh insight, encouragement and solace, Vintage Spiritual Classics are incomparable resources for all readers who seek a more substantive understanding of mankind's relation to the divine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jovinianus, about whom little more is known than what is to be found in Jerome's treatise, published a Latin treatise outlining several opinions: That a virgin is no better, as such, than a wife in the sight of God. Abstinence from food is no better than a thankful partaking of food. A person baptized with the Spirit as well as with water cannot sin. All sins are equal. There is but one grade of punishment and one of reward in the future state. In addition to this, he held the birth of Jesus Christ to have been by a "true parturition," and was thus refuting the orthodoxy of the time, according to which, the infant Jesus passed through the walls of the womb as his Resurrection body afterwards did, out of the tomb or through closed doors.
