Publisher's Synopsis
""A Dialogue of Comfort against Tribulation"" is a book written by Thomas More in 1534 and published posthumously in 1553. The book is written in the form of a dialogue between a young man named Vincent and an older man named Augustine. The two discuss the topic of how to find comfort in times of tribulation, such as illness, poverty, persecution, and death. Throughout the dialogue, Augustine provides Vincent with advice on how to deal with these difficult situations by relying on faith, prayer, and the support of friends and family. Augustine also draws on examples from the lives of saints and biblical stories to illustrate his points. The book is considered a classic of Christian literature and has been praised for its wisdom, insight, and compassion. It is also notable for its historical significance, as it was written during a time of great religious turmoil in England, when More was facing persecution for his Catholic beliefs. This edition of the book was published in 1847 and includes an introduction by the translator, William Turner, as well as footnotes and annotations to help modern readers understand the historical context and references in the text.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
