The Shining Human Creature: Christian Ethics Vol. 1

Thomas Traherne’s Centuries of Meditations is an unparalleled classic of cheery Christian mysticism, much of it animated by Paul’s ecstatic declaration: “All things are yours.” His Christian Ethics is less exuberant, but Traherne’s treatise on virtue, happiness, and love—now expertly introduced, edited, and modernized by Colin Redemer—expresses his delight in the goodness of God and creation and his confidence that “All will be included in his bliss.”
