RADIO INTERVIEW: Resurrecting spiritual classics

Throughout the centuries, Catholic saints have written countless spiritual classics that have touched hearts and changed lives. But, until now, many of these worked have been inaccessible to modern audiences because they haven’t been translated from Latin.

Tan Books has launched a new initiative called TAN Resurrection that is bringing back to life these great works.

Father Robert Nixon, a Benedictine monk with the Abbey of the Most Holy Trinity in Western Australia has been painstakingly translating these long-forgotten spiritual classics.

We talk with Father Nixon about how he goes about translating these spiritual classics and we take a closer look at one of his recently completed translations, a book by Thomas A Kempis called “Meditations on Death: Preparing for Eternity.”
