Four Last Things / The Supplication of Souls / A Dialogue on Conscience [Paperback]

Saint Thomas More (Author), Mary Gottschalk (Translator)


Available from these sellers.



Book Description

2002
The Four Last Things develops More's advice to his daughter Margaret to meditate on Death, Judgment, Pain and Joy as medicinal herbs in the battle against the spiritual sicknesses of pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth.

More created The Supplication of Souls in response to a defamatory political tract against the Roman Catholic Church. In it he swiftly reduces to absurdities the charges set forth on the "greed and corruption" of the English clergy and the controversial topic of Purgatory. He sets the record straight in a clear, precise and humorous style.

A Dialogue on Conscience is a collection of letters and dialogues between More and his stepdaughter Alice Alington, and daughter Margaret. Written while imprisoned in the Tower of London by King Henry VIII, More adheres to his course while the others struggle to understand why he refuses to take the oath which ultimately costs him his life.

Inside This Book (learn more)
First Sentence:
If anyone had any question as to whether the words of holy Scripture or the teachings of any secular author were of greater force and effect to the well-being and profit of the human soul, then-letting pass the many short and weighty sayings spoken by the mouth of Christ our Savior himself, to whose heavenly wisdom the wit of no earthly creature can be comparable-this one text written by the sage in the seventh chapter of Sirach is such that it contains more fruitful advice and counsel for the forming and framing of our ways in virtue and avoiding of sin than do many entire large volumes of the best of the old philosophers or any others that ever wrote in secular literature. Read the first page
