Thomas Traherne is an overlooked figure from church history. But this 17th century cleric, poet, and mystic has grown in popularity since being rediscovered in the 1890s. The Davenant Press is now publishing a new edition of his "Christian Ethics", a rich Christian meditation on how God made man to live.  Our very own Colin Chan Redemer has modernized the text, and so we discuss Traherne and the first volume of the work, subtitled "The Shining Human Creature."
