Description
Centuries by Thomas Traherne is a collection of spiritual meditations that convey an ardent love of God and a profound appreciation for the natural world. Written in five groupings of one hundred brief reflections, this work offers messages of spiritual direction in the tradition of cura animarum. Traherne's theology emphasizes the importance of beholding creation as it is, rather than seeing it through the lens of ingratitude or sin. His writing invites readers to experience a sense of felicity that arises from learning to see the world as God sees it. This profound and deeply personal work has been rediscovered in manuscript form, and its publication offers a unique opportunity for readers to engage with Traherne's timeless wisdom. First published in 1908, Centuries is considered one of Traherne's final works, and its title was added to the manuscript following its discovery in 1896-97.
