This fourth and final volume of The Life of Jesus Christ presents
extensive meditations on the passion of Christ, a favorite theme
for Ludolph's contemporaries. He then conducts the reader through
the events of Easter and Pentecost, concluding with meditations on
the return of Christ at the end of time, bringing to a triumphant
conclusion the sweep of salvation history begun in the first
volume. Along with presenting the final part of the Carthusian's
magisterial work, this volume includes a detailed index to all four
volumes.
2022 Catholic Media Association first place award in backlist
beauty The Vita Christi of Ludolph of Saxony, fourteenth-century
Carthusian, is the most comprehensive series of meditations on the
life of Christ from the late Middle Ages. Ludolph assembles a
wealth of commentary from the fathers of the church and the great
medieval spiritual writers and weaves them into a seamless
exposition of the Gospel. This is the full English translation of
this classic work, and, while it will be of great interest to
students of Christian spirituality, it is intended for ordinary
believers seeking to enter more deeply into the meaning of the life
of Christ. Ludolph divided his work into two parts; the present
volume contains the first half of Part Two.

The Vita Christi of the fourteenth century Carthusian, Ludolph of
Saxony, is the most comprehensive series of meditations on the life
of Christ of the late Middle Ages. Ludolph assembles a wealth of
commentary from the fathers of the church and the great medieval
spiritual writers and weaves them into a seamless exposition on the
Gospel. This is the first English translation of this classic work,
and it also is the first edition in any language to identify the
thousands of sources used by Ludolph, both those he quotes and the
many he cites without attribution. It will be of great interest to
students of Christian spirituality, but it is intended, as was the
original text, for ordinary believers seeking to enter more deeply
into the meaning of the life of Christ. When complete, there will
be 4 volumes.
The Vita Christi, a spiritual classic of the fourteenth century by
the Carthusian Ludolph of Saxony, was an early and extremely
comprehensive book of meditations on the events recorded in the
gospels. A popular and influential book for centuries, it was
instrumental in the conversion of Ignatius Loyola, and Teresa of
Avila directed that every convent of her reform include "the
Carthusian" in its library. This volume, which consists of excerpts
from the full Vita Christi (forthcoming from Cistercian
Publications), presents Ludolph's meditations on the resurrection
and the appearances of the risen Christ, concluding with Pentecost.
Although shelves of books are dedicated to Christ's passion,
comparatively little spiritual reading for the Easter Season
exists. This book is intended to help fill that lacuna and to
introduce readers to this classic text.
