A Spiritual Aeneid (1918) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436639781)

A Spiritual Aeneid, written by Ronald Arbuthnott Knox in 1918, is a religious interpretation of the epic poem, The Aeneid, by the Roman poet Virgil. Knox, a Catholic priest and theologian, uses The Aeneid as a framework to explore Christian themes and ideas. He draws parallels between the journey of Aeneas, the hero of The Aeneid, and the spiritual journey of a Christian. Knox explores the themes of sin, redemption, and salvation, and shows how they are reflected in Virgil's work. He also discusses the role of the Church in guiding Christians on their spiritual journey, and the importance of faith and trust in God. A Spiritual Aeneid is a thought-provoking book that offers a unique perspective on one of the greatest works of Western literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
