A selection from the work of Thomas Traherne, English pastor, poet and mystic, best known as the author of Centuries of Meditation, Born in 1637 in Herefordshire, he was gifted in childhood with vision of a transfigured world. The memory of this remained with him throughout his life, and was the source of some of the most striking passages of his writing. This selection puts these passages into a wider context; here Traherne is revealed as a balanced and penetrating spiritual writer. While orthodox, his teaching have some emphases unusual for his time; for instance, the importance he gives to the role of the Holy Spirit in Christian life and to the communion between heaven and earth. On of the most attractive aspects of his work is his affirmative view of the place of the body and the material world in spirituality; he insisted that Christians should delight and rejoice in God’s works. These beliefs shine through his compelling writing. Landscape of Glory will truly hep every reader to see the world afresh.
