Transformation in Christ

Following the publication of the popular biography of Dietrich von Hildebrand, Ignatius Press presents this collection of the philosopher's major spiritual work on how to grow in the imitation and love of Christ. A magnificent treatise by a distinguished philosopher on the pursuit of spiritual perfection.--Publisher's Weekly.

Recognized as a modern spiritual classic and perhaps Dietrich von Hildebrand's greatest work, this sublime and practical study gives a penetrating analysis of the true path to holiness for those who love Christ. The first requisite is the person's desire for change, and with that fundamental attitude in mind, von Hildebrand devotes a chapter to each of the successive spiritual attitudes necessary for those who strive for Christian perfection. The Beatitudes are treated with beauty and depth in an uncompromising challenge to every serious Christian to put into practice these teachings of Christ.
