Description
The Scale of Perfection, written by Walter Hilton and first published in 1450, is a spiritual guide for Christians seeking to deepen their faith and relationship with God. This book, originally written in Middle English, was translated and edited by Thomas H. Bestul in 1870, making it accessible to modern readers.The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the steps that Christians must take to achieve spiritual perfection. Hilton emphasizes the importance of humility and self-knowledge, as well as the need to detach oneself from worldly pleasures and focus on God. The second part of the book focuses on the virtues that Christians should cultivate, including love, faith, and hope. Hilton argues that these virtues are essential for achieving spiritual perfection and living a fulfilling life. The final part of the book discusses the challenges that Christians may face on their spiritual journey, including temptation, doubt, and spiritual dryness.In addition to the Scale of Perfection, this edition of the book includes an essay on the spiritual life of medieval England. This essay provides historical context for Hilton's work, exploring the religious and cultural landscape of the time period in which he lived.Overall, The Scale of Perfection is a timeless spiritual guide that continues to inspire readers today. Hilton's insights into the human condition and the nature of God offer valuable guidance for those seeking to deepen their faith and lead a more meaningful life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
