The Hidden Saintly Scholar Who Wrote the #2 Bestseller of All Time | Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB
Join Conor for a captivating conversation with Benedictine monk and respected translator of medieval Latin texts, Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB. Together they explore the life and legacy of Thomas à Kempis, the little known author of The Imitation of Christ—the second bestselling book in history after the Bible. Fr. Nixon shares insights from his scholarship on Kempis’s writings and unpacks the enduring spiritual themes found throughout his work: humility, detachment, readiness for a holy death, and the timeless virtues at the heart of Catholic spirituality. This is a rich and inspiring discussion for anyone seeking deeper understanding of the Christian tradition and the spiritual wisdom of the saints. 💲Use coupon code KEMPIS for free shipping when you buy a copy of The Imitation of Christ: https://tanbooks.com/products/books/t... 👍 Like, Subscribe, or Follow The Conor Gallagher Show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media!
