Whether it is the command to "be holy as I am holy" or to "love one another as I have loved you," all Christian ethics is rooted in the call to be like God.Yet what does it mean for fallen men to be wise like the God who is Wisdom itself? Or righteous like the God who is himself our righteousness? Or good like the God who is the Good?In this second part of his Christian Ethics, Thomas Traherne studies these questions. Treating the topics of wisdom, righteousness, goodness, holiness, justice, mercy, faith, and hope, Traherne poetically demonstrates how the Maker, by grace, makes us like himself again. 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. Traherne's work is a revelation not only for students of the Reformation but for anyone asking foundational questions of ethics and anthropology. We are thrilled to bring what should be a Christian classic back into the Church's awareness.
